11:47 <dchote> is there any "turn up the debugging, and log to this file" stuff for 
non-erlang people to figure out? 

11:47 <dizzyd> it's an area we need to work on — what in particular would you like to see? 

11:47 <dchote> right now im trying to define a "get riak working on OSX" howto for 
my company to use 

11:48 <dchote> i would love to be able to say "put logs here with this level of 
verbosity and put data there" 

11:48 <dchote> as a simple app conf 

11:48 <benblack> dchote: logging is through sasl for most things. 

11:48 <* dchote> learns through logs 

11:48 <* dizzyd> waves to his old friend dchote 

11:49 <dchote> :P 

11:49 <dizzyd> there's not a whole lot of "success" logging in Riak 

11:49 <dizzyd> most of it is in error cases 

11:49 <dchote> ok, since i just googled erlang sasl it makes sense.. wrong context before 

11:49 <dchote> erlang sasl != sasl 

11:49 <seancribbs> yep 

11:49 <benblack> yes, just googling sasl will get you a bunch fo security stuff 

11:50 <benblack> lolsearchengines 

11:50 <* dchote> very familiar with sasl in general, ok this makes sense 

11:52 <dchote> what would the best way for me to change the run_erl.log path? 

11:52 <dchote> modify bin/riak ? 

11:52 <benblack> think that's in the start script 

11:53 <* dizzyd> nods 

11:53 <benblack> that's what i'd do 

11:53 <dizzyd> if you're using a binary distro it should already be pointed 
at the right place 

11:53 <dizzyd> otherwise, bin/riak 

11:53 <dchote> well, im using the binary distro, i just want to move 
from /usr/local/riak/log to  /this/is/where/my/logs/go 

11:54 <dizzyd> yes, bin/riak is what you want to change 

11:54 <benblack> you'll want to change the web log dir, too, i think 

11:54 <dizzyd> there are vars at the top of the file 

11:54 <dchote> so there is 

11:54 <dchote> awesome 

11:54 <benchMark> Or you could just symlink it and call it a day. :) 

11:54 <seancribbs> wow, benchMark comes out of the woodwork 

11:55 <dchote> yes.. i could also install windows.. but at least one of us here 
knows that aint gonna happen 

11:55 <dchote> cool, thx guys 

11:55 <dchote> before i look at the repo, how busy is bin/riak? 

11:55 <dchote> fairly stable? 

11:56 <seancribbs> dchote: doesn't change often 

11:56 <seancribbs> dchote: another option is for you to do a source checkout and change 
the *.vars files as needed 

11:56 <dizzyd> dchote: riak doesn't work on windows — you'll be disappointed, I know 

11:56 <dchote> :P 

11:57 <* dchote> looks to see what the status of erlang on beos is :) 

11:57 <benblack> hah
