Logging

OpenSecDash writes service logs to stdout/stderr. Optional file logging can be enabled in Settings.

Docker

For Docker installs, file logging should normally stay disabled:

LOG_FILE_ENABLED=false

Docker log rotation should be handled by the container runtime. The example compose file uses:

logging:
  driver: json-file
  options:
    max-size: "10m"
    max-file: "3"

Collect logs with:

docker compose logs opensecdash --tail=500

Bare metal

For bare-metal installs, file logging can be useful if you want logs under /var/log/opensecdash/. If enabled, configure log rotation with your operating system.
