Create permanent mce.log

[Frank Murphy]

mcelog is now handled, by mcelog.service

You can "cat /var/log/messages | grep mce"
How could that be made more permanent,
to get all mce events into 
/var/log/mcelog.

Do people just disable the .service,
and re-enable the mcelog.cron?

I've not thought about it....  But, "man mcelog" reveals...

When  the  --logfile=file  option  is specified append log output to the
       specified file. With the --no-syslog option mcelog will never  log  any‐
       thing to the syslog.

So, maybe you can create a modified service to do what you want?

Thanks Ed,
Was able to modify
/etc/mcelog/mcelog.setup,
--logfile=/var/log/mcelog
