Procedure

1. Override manifest settings in the <systemd>.override.json file in a text editor of your choice, for example:

   1. To edit for all users, enter:

      # vi /etc/cockpit/<systemd>.override.json

   2. To edit for a single user, enter:

      # vi ~/.config/cockpit/<systemd>.override.json

2. Edit the required file with the following details:

   {
     "menu": {
     "services": null,
     "logs": {
         "order": -1
     }
    }
   }

   • The null value hides the services tab
   • The -1 value moves the logs tab to the first place.

3. Restart the cockpit service:

   # systemctl restart cockpit.service
