The following example shows how to set paths in the +modules.d/{modulename}.yml+
file to override the default paths for PostgreSQL logs:


["source","yaml",subs="attributes"]
-----
- module: postgresql
  log:
    enabled: true
    var.paths: ["/path/to/log/postgres/*.log*"]
-----


To specify the same settings at the command line, you use:

["source","sh",subs="attributes"]
-----
-M "postgresql.log.var.paths=[/path/to/log/postgres/*.log*]"
-----


//set the fileset name used in the included example
:fileset_ex: log
