@Prathamesh_Gaddam The logging is done chronologically by date, splitting the logs however I don’t believe is a configurable option.

@mattschaer, thank you for reply. I was expecting the same however, since 4 months the logs are getting logged in the same file dreamfactory.log and NO separate file is generate. Therefore was looking for any configuration.

@Prathamesh_Gaddam yes you can split logs by date. Set `APP_LOG=daily` in `.env` file. Other options would be “syslog” and “errorlog” cc @mattschaer

Thanks @philicious ! Seeing this now in .env file, I stand corrected @Prathamesh_Gaddam this is configurable.
