Managing Logs

Cloud CLI provides log recording and management to cache the logs generated during API calling. Log files are stored in the following directories:

• Windows: C:\Users\{Your Windows username}\.cloud\log\
• Linux: /home/{Current username}/.cloud/log/
• macOS: /Users/{Current username}/.cloud/log/

Parameters related to log management:

• level: log level, which can be info, warning, or error.
• max-file-size: maximum size (MB) of a single log file. Range: 1 to 100. Default value: 20.
• max-file-num: the number of retained log files. The value 0 indicates that all log files are retained. Default value: 3.
• retention-period: the number of days for retaining log files. The value 0 indicates that log files are retained permanently.

If none of the parameters are specified, the default log level is error, a single log file is 20 MB, and 3 files are retained.

Run the following command to set log-related parameters:

cloud log set --key1=value1 --key2=value2 ...

cloud log set --level=error --max-file-size=20 --max-file-num=3 --retention-period=30
Configuration successful.
