Server logging

By default, Manticore search daemon will log all runtime events in a searchd.log file in the directory the searchd was started from. Normally in Linux you can find the log in /var/log/manticore/searchd.log.

The log file path/name can be overriden via setting log in section searchd of the configuration file.

searchd {
...
    log = /custom/path/to/searchd.log
...
}

• Also you can use syslog as the file name. In this case the events will be sent to your server’s syslog daemon.
• In some cases you might want to use /dev/stdout as the file name. In this case in Linux Manticore will just output the events. It can be useful in Docker/Kubernetes environments.
