'log dir' directive respected no longer?

'log dir' directive respected no longer?

[Brian Chrisman]

I've noticed the 'log dir' directive in my ceph.conf no longer tells
logs where to go.
Am I missing something?

You probably are. The 'log dir' directive has become obsolete a few
versions back (not sure which one though).

There have been some discussions about this on IRC:
* http://irclogs.ceph.widodh.nl/index.php?date=2011-04-05
* http://irclogs.ceph.widodh.nl/index.php?date=2011-04-14

Anyway, stick with 'log file = /var/log/ceph/$name.$id.log', that should
work.

As Wido said, "log dir" has been removed and replaced by "log file."

Basically log_dir = foo was equivalent to something like log_file =
foo/$name.$id.log

The problem with the log_dir directive is that the behavior was
confusing if users supplied both log_dir and log_file in their
configuration files. Since log_file defaults to something like
/var/log/ceph/$name.$id.log for daemons, this tended to happen a lot.
log_file can do everything log_dir did, plus more, so we dropped the
old directive.

sincerely,
Colin
