ACM Log Files

Use ACM logs to troubleshoot for errors.

Overview

ACM can write to two locations:
  • Syslog (local2)
  • The common acm4shares.log file (/opt/aspera/acm/log/acm4shares.log)
By default, only Syslog is enabled.

Logging to a File

You can configure ACM to also write logs to a specific file by editing the acm file (/opt/aspera/acm/bin/acm) and setting LOG_TO_FILE=1. ACM writes logs to /opt/aspera/acm/log/acm4shares.log.
Note: Log to a file only for debugging purposes. The acm4shares.log file does not get rotated and can start to cause performance issues if the file grows too large.
