# Modifying the access log using `dsconfig` non-interactive mode

Use the `dsconfig` tool in non-interactive mode to modify a log publisher property on the command line or in a script.

## About this task

For information on each property, see the PingDirectory server [Configuration Reference Guide](https://docs.ping.directory/PingDirectory/latest/cli/index.html), which is an HTML document listing the various properties for each PingDirectory server component.

## Steps

* Use `dsconfig` with the `--no-prompt` option with the properties you want to modify or set for your access log.

  ### Example:

  In this example, enable the properties to include the instance name and startup ID.

  ```shell
  $ bin/dsconfig set-log-publisher-prop --publisher-name "File-Based Access Logger" \
    --set include-instance-name:true --set include-startup-id:true
  ```
