Hi Team,
i have enabled the LOG\_LEVEL: ‘debug’ and restarted my docker image.
I am trying to verify the logs it created, but not able to get the location of log file.
Can you please help on it.

Hi!
Weaviate will log at stdout.
This means that you can check the log running, for example:
```auto
docker compose logs -f --tail 10 weaviate
```
if you know the id of your container (`docker ps` will show), you can discover where the .json file will be in your host system by issuing:
```auto
docker inspect --format='{{.LogPath}}'
```
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks!

That’s helpful.
I want to write logs to a file. Is there an option to set log file? I could not find it.

hi @bewakes !!
Welcome to our community 🤗
I am not sure I understood this question.
Do you want to write logs on the server log stream?

Hi @DudaNogueira !! Thank you for your prompt reply.
What I needed to do was to stream weaviate logs to grafana via loki. The weaviate instance runs inside docker. It seems that there’s a docker plugin for logging to loki. So, my issue is resolved.
Anyways, thank you weaviate team for creating this wonderful database.

Oh, I see.
You can expose prometheus metrics, as documented here:
