You can set it on the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\RSHostingService\config.json" file, changing the properties bellow for each executable:
"Logger.path": "..\\LogFiles\\",
"Dumper.path": "..\\LogFiles\\",

 

Please create a safe copy of this file bofore any change.

 

I was not able to find any official documentation regarding to this procedure. That would be nice if someone can complement the answer with a reference.

    Hi,

     

    I tried changing the value in config.json file and restarted the service. But it still creating in C:\ only.

     

    "Logger.path": "E:\\LogFiles\\",
                "Dumper.path": "E:\\LogFiles\\",

     

    Kindly advice.

     

     

    Thanks,

      Just noted this property in config.json file but still no luck.

       

      "restartOnChangesTo": "Dumper.flags,Dumper.path,Dumper.preventIfContains,listenerUrl,Logger.path"
