[Geoserver-users] quick geoserver question

Discussion:

I am having fun using geoserver this week (I know that never happens that
developers get to use the thing they work on).

One of the experiments I have been doing it starting up geoserver with an
empty data directory and configuring it via the rest api. One "glitch" in
this work flow is configuring logging.

When I first start up geoserver logs are sent to catalina.out and are
available in tomcat/logs directory. The
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/logs/geoserver.log file is created but empty.

When I use the UI to change logging from default to production, the log4j
configuration files are unpacked into GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/logs and the
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/logs/geoserver.og file starts being used.

I am happy to report a bug / feature request, but would like to ask if I am
missing something obvious first.

Do we need a geoserver/rest/settings/logging endpoint to configure these
settings (or is it already too late after first launch).

Hi Jody,
wrong mailing list maybe? Looks like a "-devel" discussion.

Cheers

I was asking as a user and did not want to distract the developer list :)

The ability to start in an empty directory is something I only just learned
last year and I was having a chance to try it out.

(I am happy to improve the docs with what I learn though)

I think that starting with a empty data dir was tried at some point, but
there
are no extensive tests and it stopped at "yes, it starts".

This requires a developer to make further changes to make starting from
an empty data dir a smoother experience
