Server logging

By default, Manticore search daemon logs all runtime events in a searchd.log file in the directory where searchd was started. In Linux by default, you can find the log at /var/log/manticore/searchd.log.

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

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

• You can also use syslog as the file name. In this case, 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, on Linux, Manticore will simply output the events. This can be useful in Docker/Kubernetes environments.
