Hello, is it possible to change the default log-file target? Thanks!

sumnerboy12 commented 7 years ago

Yes, by specifying the LOGFILE system environment variable;

LOGFILE = os.getenv('LOGFILE', APPNAME + '.log')

Hi, if i would change the target to /var/log/mqtt-gpio-monitor - is this the right syntax: ? LOGFILE = os.getenv('/var/log/mqtt-gpio-monitor ', APPNAME + '.log') ?

You need tp set the environment variable in your session. Google is your friend, there are plenty of tutorials about how to do this. You don't need to touch the source code. Although you can if you want of course.
