Unable to push logs of py daemon to a separate file about nginx-ldap-auth HOT 4 CLOSED

What OS are you using? The ideal way to forward stdout to a file using systemd is the way you already explained above. Another one is to redirect to log stream to a file using ExecStart=/bin/python3 /etc/nginx-ldap/nginx-ldap-auth-daemon.py 2>&1 >> /var/log/your.log.

This will append the stdout as well as the stderr to a custom logfile.

We are using Amazon linux2 Nginx Plus AMI as a subscription from the market place.
os-release

VERSION="2"

Thanks and as you suggested, below redirection works:-
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'exec /bin/python3 /etc/nginx-ldap/nginx-ldap-auth-daemon.py 2>&1 >> /var/log/nginx/ldap_auth_daemon.log'

However, the service/process writes to the above redirected log file only when the systemd service is stopped i.e. it does not write in real-time.

Sorry for the delay, this issue is fixed, was a buffer issue. Can be closed. Thanks👍
