log-root

Path to folder containing log files

Syntax

--log-root path

Description

--log-root path specifies the location of the folder where a MATLAB® Production Server™ instance writes log files. This property is available only for an on-premises server installation.

The server creates the following log files when it starts.

  • main.log — Most recent log file.

  • main.out — Captures standard output from the main process.

  • main.err — Captures standard error output from the main process.

  • main__DATE__SERIAL.log — Main process log. When a server instance restarts or the size of main.log reaches the limit set by the log-rotation-size property, the server renames main.log to main__DATE__SERIAL.log and archives it in the folder set by the log-archive-root property. The default archive location is the old_logs folder of a server instance.

Note

Omitting this property disables all logging.

Parameters

path

Path to the folder containing log files for a server instance.

Examples

  • For on-premises server instances created using the command line, update this server configuration property in the main_config server configuration file.

  • For on-premises server instances created using the dashboard and for server deployments in the cloud, use the dashboard and cloud dashboard, respectively, to update the server configuration property.
