Hi,
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve spend quite some time on trying to figure out where the MPA logs of CipherMail 6 Community Edition are stored. CipherMail 5 stores these in /usr/share/djigzo/logs/james.wrapper.log. I already checked /var/log and the CipherMail database, but unfortunately I’ve found no trace of them. Did I overlook something or did I just search the wrong places?
Kind regards,
citroid
With version 6, the MPA log is stored in the systemd journal. You can monitor MPA log entries by using standard systemd journal tools.
The main advantage of the systemd journal is that it provides a consistent, structured log format that can be easily searched, filtered, and processed by other tools.
If needed, you can configure journald to write the MPA log to a file instead.
Thank you for the reply!
I noticed that journalctl shows timestamps of log entries in my local timezone whereas the admin UI of ciphermail displays them with timestamps in UTC. Is this configurable to be shown in local timezone as well?
This is already fixed upstream and will be included with the new release.
The reason for this was a misunderstanding of the journalctl result. Journalctl shows results in the local timezone but not with --output=json (then it will always use utc timestamps)
