The ajax request is assigned to logData variable.

You should define it earlier in the code and assign it in the "success" field of the request.

var logData;
var getConfigData = function(filename) {
    return $.ajax({
        url: '/config/'+filename,
        success: data => logData = data,
        global: false
    });
};
getConfigData('userlog.conf');
console.log(logData);
