Title

How to change the DGE agent log directory to a custom location
Description

By default, logs files are stored in the installation directory for Data Governance Edition (DGE). The path can be changed by modifying a registry setting.
Resolution

To set a custom folder path for the DGE log files, create of modify the registry string values "rootDirectory" and "workingDirectory" under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Quest Software\Broadway\Agent\System\. The value should be the desired folder patch, as shown in the screen shot below. If you want to use another drive, simply specify the full path (ie. D:\Logs\DGE Logs)
After the registry has been edited, restart the agent and new log files should appear in the new folder location. If you have multiple agents on the same machine, it will create subdirectories under the root log directory for each agent.
