Methods, systems and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention configure a computing system with a logging service that interacts with implementation objects associated with particular types of storage devices through a storage interface. The implementation objects may include processes used to access the storage devices during logging operations. The logging service may also be configured to adjust which storage device is to be used for logging operations without restarting the computing system. This adjustment may be made through a property file that includes properties specific to individual types of storage devices. The property file may be modified to include new properties by a system administrator or by the logging service during runtime operations of the computing system. The new properties may designate new storage devices to be used by the logging service to perform subsequent logging operations.
