7.11 Logging

iPrint Appliance system events are logged in the /var directory. Since the /var directory can fill up with log files and cause the boot partition to grow, it is recommended that /var be located either on a separate hard disk on the appliance, or on a remote NFS directory.

To move the /var directory to a dedicated disk or to a remote NFS directory:

  1. On a Web browser, use either the DNS name or the IP address to access the Management Console. For example, https://10.0.0.1:9443 or https://iprint.example.com:9443.

  2. Click the Appliance System Configuration icon.

  3. Click Logging.

  4. Specify the hard disk information for the /var directory:

    • Select disk: Select the hard disk where you want to place /var.

    • File system type: Specify the type of file system.

  5. Click OK.
