Summary:
How to change the TIBCO Spotfire Server log files location.

Details:
This article describes steps to reconfigure the TIBCO Spotfire Server log file(s) location.

Resolution:
You can change the default directory location for logs by changing a property setting in the log4j2-custom.xml file, located in <Spotfire Server Installation directory>\tomcat\spotfire-config.

1. On the computer where Spotfire Server is installed, locate the file <Spotfire Server Installation directory>\tomcat\spotfire-config\log4j2-custom.xml.
2. Locate and modify the following property:

<Property name="log.dir">logs</Property>

This property is relative to <Spotfire Server Installation directory>/tomcat unless the given value is an absolute path to an existing folder.
Note: If the specified path leads to either a non-existing or a non-writable folder outside of <Spotfire Server Installation directory>/tomcat, then the default log directory will be used instead.
