Locating log files

Dear all,

I feel a bit shameful, I cannot find any log files in my Syncope setup.
I have created a Syncope project with Maven archetype, then built with Maven, and then copied war in Tomcat9.
The application works fine, and I can watch logs in the console, but am unable to find an 'core.log' on the machine...

I tried also to build with 'mvn -Dlog.directory=/tmp' but found nothing in /tmp...

What did I miss?

Thanks
Lionel

Thanks Francesco, that's indeed what I did, however after deploying WAR files to Tomcat and restarting Tomcat, the log directory is empty.
So it seems I missed something else.

Hi Lionel,
it seems you've missed the notice [1] which invites you to head to the Reference Guide "to understand how to configure, extend, customize and *deploy* your new Apache Syncope project".

In particular, the explanation about Deployment Directories [2] and following instructions about how to build your project for deployment, e.g.

mvn clean verify \
    -Dconf.directory=/opt/syncope/conf \
    -Dbundles.directory=/opt/syncope/bundles \
    -Dlog.directory=/opt/syncope/log

The WAR files generated by this command are configured differently than the ones built for embedded mode [3].

Hope this helps.
Regards.
