Log Files

[Alex1978]

Would like to ensure that we can keep all log activity but the log files seem to be getting rather large.

Setup a secondary drive just for logs but the logging options don't allow you to configure the location of the logs. Is there a way to change the log file location?

Just create a symlink

Say softether is installed under /opt/vpnserver
And you want to have the logs under /media/external

Stop the server
mkdir /media/external/server_log
rm -rf /opt/vpnserver/server_log
ln -sf /media/external/server_log /opt/vpnserver/server_log
Give the directory the same owner,group and chmod
start the vpn server

I was thinking symbolic links.

This however is a windows system.

Windows also has symbolic links.

Not sure though whether they have the same logic, please give it a try
