Hi, I'm having problems with Fleets data (result.log and status.log). First I changed anything about the logs, so Fleet wrote its logs in /tmp, and I had no problem to read them. Then I wanted that Fleet write the logs in a specific folder, so I added these lines to the config file :

filesystem:
        result_log_file: /opt/fleet/log/result.log
        status_log_file: /opt/fleet/log/status.log
        enable_log_rotation: true

but in /opt/fleet/log, I can see nothing. I wondered if this could be an access problem, but my Fleet has normally all the rights to write into this folder.

What's the outpout of

ls -l /opt/fleet

and

ls -l /opt/fleet/log

Ok you put me in the way for this, and indeed I forgot to extend my chown to the whole folder /opt/fleet

And what do the fleet logs say? Assuming it's running as a systemd service

sudo journalctl -u fleet

Can you SU to the kolide user and touch a file in that directory?

It does work as a service, and it seems to be no error in the journalctl :
