Default Locations for Server Logs

The following table shows the default location of server logs within the SAS configuration directory:
Note:
  • SASApp is the default name that the SAS Deployment Wizard assigns to directory for the first application server. If you have a single-machine installation that was migrated from SAS 9.1.3, then the application server subdirectory is called SASMain. If you assigned a different name when you ran the SAS Deployment Wizard, then the subdirectory is named accordingly.
  • In a custom installation, you can choose to place all of your log files in a single directory. If this option was selected, then your log files are written to the path that was specified during installation (for example, SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Logs).
