log.dir=\<dir for the log file>

log.filename=\<name of the file>

log.append=\<true or false> *true* is to add the logs to the existing file and *false* is to overwrite the existing file with new logs.

* Edit these commands as required. An example is shown in the screen capture.![](https://help.mydbsync.com/docs/download/attachments/31983593/2910131.png?version=1\&modificationDate=1546941676000\&api=v2)
* Save config.properties or system.properties & restart the server before running the replication. After running the replication logs can be viewed from the new location in a single file.
