Logging in splunk

splunker_123
Path Finder

Hi

Anyone know how to change the default log location of splunk logs in splunk indexer and universal forwarder please?

At the moment splunk indexer and forwarder is writing under /opt I want to move it to /var

Thanks

The main logging config file resides at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/log.cfg
