Redis: How to access Redis log file

Question

Have Redis setup with ruby on ubuntu server, but can\'t figure out how to access its log file. Tutorial says it should be here:

/var/log/redis_6379.log
         


        

Answer 1

The log file will be where the configuration file (usually /etc/redis/redis.conf) says it is :)

By default, logfile stdout which probably isn't what you are looking for. If redis is running daemonized, then that log configuration means logs will be sent to /dev/null, i.e. discarded.

Summary: set logfile /path/to/my/log/file.log in your config and redis logs will be written to that file.
