COMMANDS
log errors
doveadm log errors [
-s
min_timestamp]
The
log errors
command is used to show the last - up to 1,000 - errors and warnings.
If no output is generated, no errors have occurred since the last start.
- -s min_timestamp
-
An integer value, representing seconds since the epoch - also known as
Unix timestamp.
When a min_timestamp was given,
doveadm(1)
will only show errors occurred since that point in time.
log find
doveadm log find
[
directory]
The
log find
command is used to show the location of the log files, to which
dovecot(1)
sends its log messages.
If
dovecot(1)
logs its messages through
syslogd(8)
and
doveadm(1)
could not find any log files, you can specify the
directory
where your syslogd writes its log files.
log reopen
doveadm log reopen
This command causes
doveadm
to reopen all log files, configured in the
log_path,
info_log_path
and
debug_log_path
settings.
These settings are configured in
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf.
This is for example useful after manually rotating the log files.
log test
doveadm log test
This command causes
doveadm
to write the message dqThis is Dovecotaqs
priority
log
(timestamp)dq
to the configured log files.
The used priorities are:
debug,
info,
warning,
error
and
fatal.
