Log File Locations

By default, the log files are located in the working directory used when you started the corresponding processes.​

For Geode members (locators and cache servers), you can also specify a custom working directory location when you start each process. See Logging for more details.

The log files are as follows:

  • locator-name.log: Contains logging information for the locator process.

  • server-name.log: Contains logging information for a cache server process.

  • gfsh-%u_%g.log: Contains logging information of an individual gfsh environment and session.

    Note: By default, gfsh session logging is disabled. To enable gfsh logging, you must set the Java system property -Dgfsh. log-level=desired_log_level. See Configuring the gfsh Environment for more information.

These log files should be readable and writable only by the dedicated user who runs the servers.
