How To: Change the location of GroupID log files

Applies To:

GroupID 10

Business Scenario:

Due to space constraints, we want to relocate all the log files to one location.

Here is a list of the GroupID log files: 

• GroupID Management Console Logs
• Email Service Logs
• GroupID Management Shell Logs
• Upgrade Summary Logs
• Data Service Logs
• Security Service Logs
• Self-Service Portal Logs
• Password Center User Portal Logs
• Password Center Helpdesk Portal Logs
• Task Scheduler Logs
• Reporting Logs
• Synchronize Logs

Click a log file to view its default location and the path to its configuration file.

Change the Log File Location:

1. Close GroupID Management Console.
2. Open the configuration file, Imanami.GroupID.Snapin.dll.config in a text editor.
3. Look for <file value="${TMP}\~GroupID8.Log" />.
4. Modify ${TMP} to provide the new location, something like <file value="F:\GroupID Logs\~GroupID8.Log" />.

   

5. Save the file and launch GroupID Management Console to make the new changes work.
    

   Note:

   To change the location of any of the log files discussed in this article, you have to update the relevant tag in the respective configuration file. The tag and its update process are the same as discussed above.
