Logging
Metadefender Update Downloader has wide variety of options to configure logging. Log settings are in the configuration files.
Configuration
To configure the log outputs and levels, consult the following paragraphs:
In case of using linux operating system the installer configures the logrotate service to handle the Metascan log files.
Configuration file is located:
/etc/logrotate.d/ometadownloader
The default configuration will rotate daily and store the last 30 days.
If the log file path is modified, the logrotate config file should be updated as well.
The new log settings will be used after a service restart or a HUP signal.
Debug logging
To provide debug logs for the OPSWAT support team, the level of the logfile for the given service (ometadownloader) must be set to 'debug'.
Next, execute the scenarios requested by the support team, and collect the generated log files from the configured location.
After that the log level should be set back to 'info'. In debug level the size of the logfile size will increase significantly.
