Our uploads folder is in a S3 bucket. The logging feature from Wp Discourse is adding a lot of load to the server, due to the constant writes to the uploads folder.
I need to completely disable the WP Discourse logs, or at least change the path to the log files directory.
Is there a way to customize that with a hook, or maybe defining a variable in wp-config.php?
Youâre talking about the logs created by WordPress? Or discourse?
Discourse.
Iâve already disabled all the specific log options in the plugin settings, but it still does a lot o R/W in the directory,
You mean this, right?
wp-discourse is a WordPress plugin.
Those are WordPress logs. So if you want to change them you should do something lke https://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress+limit+log+size&oq=wordpress+limit+log+size.
There could be somewhere here who knows, but that search, especially on Christmas, is likely going to yield faster results.
Hi Jay,
Sorry, i meant wp-discourse.
I donât want to limit the size of the log. I need to change the directory that the plugin uses to save the log files, or completely disable the logging feature.
As i mentioned, our uploads folder is in a S3 bucket, mounted using Rclone. WP Discourse makes constant writes in this âlogs-metafile.txtâ file, and this increases the server load a lot.
I checked the log generator file from WP Discourse, and it fetches the wp_uploads_dir directly, so i donât think thereâs a official way to change the directory, right?
Thanks for this report @Thiago_Mobilon.
Weâll be making a change to address this in the next release of the WP Discourse plugin.
Just a note that the next release of the plugin 2.4.8 includes:
The fix should address the issue youâre experiencing @Thiago_Mobilon so you shouldnât need to disable logging, but youâre welcome to of course.
The release is currently up for review. When this PR is merged itâll be released to wordpress.org.
