By default, exMon creates a few types of log files which are by default put under C:\Program Files\exMon\Logs. To move log file location, for example to a specific log drive, follow directions under each section.
Note: You will need to follow these directions on each server running exMon.
Execution Agent
exMon writes a separate log file to disk for each execution of packages, queries, processes, object groups and reports.
To change the location of these log files, follow these steps:
- Open C:\Program Files\exMon\Bin\ExpectusConfig.config in a text editor
- Locate the LogFile property ending with epcmd_log.txt
- Change the directory to your new location making sure it still ends with epcmd_log.txt
- Save the file
All new executions will save logs to the new location.
Execution Agent Service
All remote executions are logged in a single file, ExpectusCommandWs.xml and are by default located at C:\Program Files\Logs
To change the location of this log file, follow these steps:
- Open C:\Program Files\exMon\exMon\CommandService\log4net.config in a text editor
- Locate and change <file value="..." />
- Open Services in Windows (Start > Run: Services.msc)
- Right-click exMon Command Service and select Restart
All-new remote execution will save logs to the new location.
exMon Data Governance
exMon Data Governance started on servers logs details about all errors into a single file. By default that log file is located at C:\Program Files\exMon\Logs\ExpectusAdmin.xml.
To change the location of this log file, follow these steps:
- Open C:\Program Files\exMon\Bin\log4net.config in a text editor
- Locate and change <file value="..." />
All exceptions will save logs to the new location
exMon Portal
The exMon Portal logs all errors that occur both on the server and client.
These logs are located at C:\Program Files\exMon\Logs\ExpectusPortal.xml and C:\Program Files\exMon\Logs\ExpectusPortalJavascript.xml
To change the location of these log files, follow these steps:
- Open C:\Program Files\exMon\exMon\Portal\log4net.config in a text editor
- Locate and change both locations for the log files: <file value="...ExpectusPortal[Javascript].xml" />
- Open Internet Information Services (IIS) in Windows
- Find the website containing the exMon Application. Normally, it is Default Website
- With the site selected click Restart in the right panel under Manage WebSite
All errors will now use the new log files.
