Logs

Log in NanoMQ allows you to customize how the broker generates and manages log files. This configuration includes settings for the destination of the logs, the log levels, and the handling of log file rotation.

Example Configuration

log = {
  to = [file, console]                  # Destination of the logs
  level = "warn"                        # Log level
  dir = "/tmp"                          # Directory for log files
  file = "nanomq.log"                   # Filename for the log file
  rotation = {
    size = "10MB"                       # Maximum size of each log file
    count = 5                           # Maximum rotation count of log files
  }
}
