Change default LOGPATH

[bharadwajy]

Hi,

I changed LOGPATH, restarted atopacct service but logs continue to be generated in default location var/log/atop. Waited for a couple of interval cycles to pass to see if the change takes effect, but of no avail. Logs continue to be updated in default path.

How can I instruct atopacctd to use a non-default LOGPATH?

Following is some additional information:

$ more /etc/default/atop 
# /etc/default/atop
# see man atoprc for more possibilities to configure atop execution

LOGOPTS="-R"
LOGINTERVAL=600
LOGGENERATIONS=28
LOGPATH=/var/atoplog

No logs in new location

$ ls -la /var/atoplog
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096 Dec 21 11:24 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 16 root root 4096 Dec 20 20:30 ..

Updates continue in default location

$ ls -la /var/log/atop
total 5336
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root      4096 Dec 21 00:00 .
drwxrwxr-x 20 root syslog    4096 Dec 18 00:00 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   1356264 Dec 21 00:00 atop_20221220
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   4087334 Dec 21 12:10 atop_20221221

Thanks for any help/suggestions to correctly change LOGPATH to a non-default value.

Closing as I understand the reason for what I see.
