pg_log
The former default log file directory
pg_log
was the default log file directory in PostgreSQL 9.6 and earlier.
By default, PostgreSQL logs are written to the location specified by log_directory
, which defaults to a subdirectory of the data directory. In PostgreSQL 10, the default value for log_directory
was changed from pg_log
to log
, to differentiate it from other directories beginning with pg_
which are essential components of the data directory.
pg_log
should not be confused with the former system catalog table pg_log
.
