Cylc 8 Replacement for [runtime][<namespace>]extra log files

Cylc Cylc Support

Hello,

I am in the process of converting one of our long standing cylc 7 suites to cylc 8.3.4. When we run our forcast, we output to an additionally specified log file using the [runtime][]extra log files specification. I can’t find what this has been replaced with in Cylc 8. Is there a replacement? If not, whats the best way to replicate this behavior?

Hi Justin,

That setting is not needed in Cylc 8.

The Cylc 8 CLI (cylc cat-log) web UI (cylc gui), and terminal UI (cylc tui) simply provide access to all files found in the job log directory.

(In the web UI and TUI, if you click on “log” on a task it will show the job.out file by default, but clicking select file after that will show you any custom logs as well as the standard ones).
