change location of Bitbucket log direcotry

[SW]

Defaultly the logs are stored under the Bitbucket Home directory. As the orgnistaions design we are forced to keep logs files in specific drive. 

For this I need to changes the ${log.dir} location.

I see following line in logback.xml but do not know how do I give value to log dir,

<define name="log.dir" class="com.atlassian.stash.internal.logback.LogDirectoryPropertyDefiner"
scope="context"/>

Help me to change the default log location

Platform is windows.

Late to the party, but I've found a solution that should be documented. I was running into the same issue of not wanting to repeat the same location in multiple appender definitions. I was able to solve it by defining a variable in the logback.xml file.

Since Bitbucket Server uses Logback as its logging utility, I followed the Variable Substitution section of the Logback Configuration Documentation.

<property name="mylog.dir" value="/var/log/bitbucket"/>

Instead of the <define> tag that Atlassian uses to import their pre-defined variables (like log.dir), Logback can also use the <property> tag to define a local variable that can then be access using ${mylog.dir}.

This can then be used in an appender definition such as the following:

<appender name="bitbucket.application" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
    <file>${mylog.dir}/atlassian-bitbucket.log</file>
</appender>

Alleviating the need to repeat the same location many times!

I've done this successfully on Bitbucket Server 7.2 within the local logback.xml file within my <bitbucket-home> directory. I'm not sure if this solution was a possibility back in Bitbucket Server 5.2 from the other answer.

In atlassian-bitbucket-5.2.2/app/WEB-INF/classes/logback.xml change:

<file>${log.dir}/atlassian-bitbucket.log</file>

Thanks for the reply Velle. 

I was already went through the article but did not wanted to specify locations at multiple files tags :)
