Change the Log Directory

This requires at least Iguana version 10.1.91.

The Log Configuration File, log.json, can be used to configure the log directory where you want Iguana to store its log data.

STEP 1: Stop the IguanaX service

Windows command:

iguana --service stop   

Linux command:

sudo ./iguana --service stop   

STEP 2: Navigate to the your configuration directory

The location of the log.json file should be in your configurations as follows. If you haven't configured a custom log directory location, this file will not exist and you will need to create it!

<Instance Dir>/config/settings/log.json   

STEP 3: Create a log.json file and add in your desired log directory using the "log_dir" key

Add a new log directory.

Windows:

Keep in mind the file path format for your operating system (forward slashes for windows!)

{   
"log_dir": "C:/ProgramData/IguanaXLogs"
}

Linux:

{   
"log_dir": "~/IguanaXLogs"
}

STEP 4: Start the IguanaX service and navigate to your logs to see the new directory.

Windows command:

iguana --service start   

Linux command:

sudo ./iguana --service start
