Moving Log file to another Directory

After installing WIP by default log files are created in the WIP install directory i.e. <Install Directory>/Log.

For example in C:\ProgramData\ebiexperts\WIP Web Server\webapp\log

WIP1.0

WIP2.0

We can change the location where the logs are saved.

To achieve we need to do the following

Stop all WIP service(s) actually running like
- wipwebserver,
- wiptrackerservice,
- wipsapservice and
- wipprocessorservice
Edit the file called NLog.config in an editor like Notepad ++.
The NLog.config is found in the following directory
- For WIP1.0 - C:\ProgramData\ebiexperts\WIP Web Server\webapp
- For WIP2.0 - C:\ProgramData\ebiexperts\WIP Web Server2\wipsetup
Look for the <variable name="logDir" value="C:\TstLog" />.
- If the line is not found add the line below variable name="myvar".
- The lines in the config file should look as follows :-
  <variable name="myvar" value="myvalue" />
  <variable name="logDir" value="C:\TstLog" />
  Change the value of the “logDir” to the desired value
Look for the variable basedir in the current config file and replace it with the variable logDir created from step 2 and 3.
Example : The “basedir” below will be replace ="logDir"

<target name="file" xsi:type="File"

fileName="${basedir}/log/${lowercase:${processname}/${processname}}_${date:format=yyyy-MM-dd}-api.log"

encoding="utf-8" layout="${longdate} ${uppercase:${level}} ${processid} ${message}"

maxArchiveFiles="4"

archiveEvery="Day" />

<target name="console" xsi:type="Console"

encoding="utf-8" layout="${longdate} ${callsite} ${level} ${message}" />

</targets>
