Alert! This article is written for Zimbra OSE users. As of December 2023, Synacor will no longer be providing support for Zimbra OSE. You might want to consider trying out Carbonio Community Edition – Zextras’s free and open-source email and collaboration platform.

In this article we are going to see how to manage your Account Logs with CLI Commands using zmprov. As usual, for every command, we will show you the extendend and short form along with the syntax to be used.

Remember that all commands are intended to be executed logging in as Zimbra user, with the command: su - zimbra

Add an Account Logger:

To add an Account Logger you need to use addAccountLogger (aal) with the following syntax:

zmprov addAccountLogger [--server hostname] {user@yourdomain|id} {logging-category} {debug|info|warn|error}

This command is going to create a custom logging for a single account

Remove an Account Logger:

To remove an Account Logger you need to use removeAccountLogger (ral) with the following syntax:

zmprov removeAccountLogger [--server hostname] {user@yourdomain|id} {logging-category} 

This command deletes the custom logger created for the account specified (eg. user@yourdomain), otherwise it will remove all loggers for all the accounts from the system.

Get an Account Logger:

To get an Account Logger you need to use getAccountLogger (gal) with the following syntax:

zmprov getAccountLogger [--server hostname] {user@yourdomain|id} {logging-category} {debug|info|warn|error}

Get all Account Loggers:

To get all Account Loggers you need to use getAllAccountLoggers (gaal) with the following syntax:

zmprov getAllAccountLoggers [--server hostname]

This command shows all individual custom logger account
