COMMANDS

The log find command is used to show the location of the log files, to which dovecot(1) sends its log messages. If dovecot(1) logs its messages through syslogd(8) and doveadm(1) could not find any log files, you can specify the directory where your syslogd writes its log files.

log reopen

doveadm log reopen

This command causes doveadm to reopen all log files, configured in the log_path, info_log_path and debug_log_path settings. These settings are configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf.
This is for example useful after manually rotating the log files.

log test

doveadm log test

This command causes doveadm to write the message dqThis is Dovecotaqs priority log (timestamp)dq to the configured log files. The used priorities are: debug, info, warning, error and fatal.
