Change Location of Logging

What parameter should be changed where in order to send the logging to a separate directory.

Harry,

You can control this by using a "Directory" element in the web.config file for the RS web service and the bin\ReportingtServicesService.exe.config file for the RS Windows service:

default:

<RStrace>
<add name="FileName" value="ReportServer_" />
<add name="FileSizeLimitMb" value="32" />
<add name="KeepFilesForDays" value="14" />
<add name="Prefix" value="tid, time" />
<add name="TraceListeners" value="debugwindow, file" />
<add name="TraceFileMode" value="unique" />
<add name="Components" value="all,RunningJobs:3" />
</RStrace>

custom log file path:

<RStrace>
<add name="FileName" value="ReportServer_" />
<add name="Directory" value="D:\RSTraceData" />
<add name="FileSizeLimitMb" value="32" />
<add name="KeepFilesForDays" value="14" />
<add name="Prefix" value="tid, time" />
<add name="TraceListeners" value="debugwindow, file" />
<add name="TraceFileMode" value="unique" />
<add name="Components" value="all,RunningJobs:3" />
</RStrace>

Note that a folder called "LogFiles" will be created under whatever folder you specify. If the path you specify doesn't exist, it will be created. If there's some problem writing log files to that path, the log files will end up in %Temp%.

BTW, this is a "lightly-documented" feature, so it's subject to change without notice in future versions, and it doesn't get the same level of testing that other more well-documented features get.
