# Log Management Guide
This guide covers log configuration and rotation for `pcloudcc`.
## Log Files
`pcloudcc` supports two types of logs:
1. **Debug Log** - Operational information, errors, and debug messages
- Default location: `~/.pcloud/debug.log`
- Configure with: `--log-path` and `--log-level`
2. **Filesystem Events Log** - Clean log of file/folder operations only
- Disabled by default
- Enable with: `--fs-event-log`
## Log Configuration
### Log Level
Control verbosity with `--log-level`:
```bash
# Errors only
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --log-level ERROR
# Normal operation (default)
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --log-level INFO
# Detailed debugging
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --log-level DEBUG
# Disable logging
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --log-level NONE
```
Available levels: `NONE`, `ERROR`, `WARNING`, `INFO`, `NOTICE`, `DEBUG`
### Custom Log Path
```bash
# System-wide log
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --log-path /var/log/pcloudcc.log
# Custom user location
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --log-path ~/logs/pcloud.log
```
### Filesystem Events Log
Enable a separate log containing only filesystem events:
```bash
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --fs-event-log ~/.pcloud/fs-events.log
```
Event format: `<timestamp> <event_type> <path>`
Example events:
```
Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:24:23.032 +0000 file deleted /tmp/xxx
Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:24:47.861 +0000 folder moved /tmp/test2 -> /tmp/test3
Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:25:10.445 +0000 file created /tmp/newfile.txt
```
## Log Rotation
### System-Wide (with logrotate)
Install the provided configuration:
```bash
sudo cp pcloudcc.logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/pcloudcc
```
This rotates logs daily, keeps 7 days of history, and compresses old logs.
### User-Specific Rotation
Create `~/.logrotate.conf`:
```
/home/username/.pcloud/debug.log /home/username/.pcloud/fs-events.log {
weekly
rotate 4
compress
missingok
notifempty
create 0600 username username
maxsize 50M
postrotate
pkill -USR2 -u username pcloudcc 2>/dev/null || true
endscript
}
```
Add to crontab:
```bash
crontab -e
# Add this line:
0 2 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -s ~/.logrotate.state ~/.logrotate.conf
```
### Manual Rotation
```bash
# Move current logs
mv ~/.pcloud/debug.log ~/.pcloud/debug.log.old
mv ~/.pcloud/fs-events.log ~/.pcloud/fs-events.log.old
# Signal pcloudcc to reopen logs
pkill -SIGUSR2 pcloudcc
```
## Cache Management
Configure cache size (default 5GB):
```bash
# Set to 10GB
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --cache-size 10
# Set to 1GB for limited storage
pcloudcc -u user@example.com -d --cache-size 1
```
Check cache usage:
```bash
du -sh ~/.pcloud/Cache
```
Cache is stored in `~/.pcloud/Cache/` and managed automatically by `pcloudcc`.
