Hello, Is there any way to change default settings for logs, looks like they only will be saved for a day, id like to have the logs saved for at least 7 days for exampe. cant find the settings for this, logrotate isnt enabled on the server. Hope to see some light on this question =)
There‘s no settings for that in Plex.
To add to Tom,
There is a hidden preference (Preferences.xml) with PMS stopped.
LogNumFiles="x"
This tells PMS to retain the last “x” logfiles where each log file is 10MB worth of activity.
With DEBUG logging on and VERBOSE logging off, I’ve observed 20-25 per day seems to hold true unless you have a very busy server.
Isn’t there a preference you can set to enable syslog logging? I thought I saw that as an option somewhere before. Syslog logs could then be forwarded to a central log server in theory enabling even longer retention.
On desktop/server Linux installations, the service config can be overridden to redirect to SYSLOG.
This will enable retention for however long desired,
HOWEVER, We cannot support SYSLOG-based logs
sudo systemctl edit plexmediaserver
[Service]
Environment="PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USE_SYSLOG=true"
Save and exit the editor
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver
nice, i think that will solve my issue, i have a temp solution that parses the current files and write it down to another now =) but ill change this, thanks.
