I personally would just use this: <updateLog /> This enables the transaction log with all default settings. If you end up needing to change the default settings, then you can expand it to an open tag and a close tab with the settings you need in between. It is rarely necessary to change the directory for the update log to something other than the default. My general rule for solrconfig.xml: Don't add more configuration than you need. If the defaults for a particular setting are acceptable, leave the config out. The solr.data.dir and solr.ulog.dir values you see are java properties. When you're running SolrCloud or multiple cores, using properties in file locations can cause problems if you do not know *exactly* what you are doing. Thanks, Shawn
