Replicate and QEM writes log files to log directory within the data directory. I would like to suggest and enhancement to write logs to a custom directory.
Background:
We have stored data directory on NFS share for our Replicate and QEM setup on Windows for DR requirements. We want to send logs to Elasticsearch. We are using filebeat for this. Filebeat does not recommend harvesting log files from network attached storage as it has unintended side effects. Which is why I would like to store logs on local disk instead. This also gives better control to the admins to managing disk utilization and storing the logs.
I tried creating symlink to trick Replicate to write logs to local disk. But symlinks also do not work on network disks.
