Universal Forwarder Log DIR

Is it possible to configure the log directory of a Windows 4.2 unviversal fowarder?

i.e. we want to log to a directory which is not C:/Program Files/Splunk/var/log/splunk to meet our environment policies.

Hi Josh,

You may want to create a log-local.cfg file in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/ which includes a custom path for the following log configuration setting:

appender.A1.fileName=/path/to/your/custom/file.log

For more information, the following documentation link has some useful configuration settings for your log files.
