_By default log files are Info level logs, if debug or trace logs are required you need to enable them in settings first._
### Location ###
The location of the log files depends where Readarr's [AppData directory](https://github.com/Readarr/Readarr/wiki/AppData-Directory) is located, the log files will be inside the logs folder. You can also access the log files from the Readarr UI (System: Logs: Files).
**Note**: the Logs Table in the UI is _not_ the same as the log files.
### Trace/Debug Logs ###
You can enable Trace or Debug logging in Settings on the General tab, by setting the `Log Level`. Readarr does not need to restarted for the change to take effect. This change only effects the log files, not the logging database. The latest debug/trace log files are named `readarr.debug.txt` and `readarr.trace.txt` respectively.
If you're unable to access the Readarr UI to set the logging level you can do so by editing `config.xml` in the [AppData directory](https://github.com/Readarr/Readarr/wiki/AppData-Directory) by setting the `LogLevel` value to `Debug` or `Trace` instead of `Info`.
### Clearing Logs ###
You can clear log files and the logs database directly from the UI, under System -> Logs -> Files and System -> Logs respectively.
### Multiple Log Files ###
Readarr uses rolling log files, each one limited to 1MB in size. The current log file is always `readarr.txt`, for the the other files `readarr.0.txt` is the next newest (the higher the number the older it is) up to 6 log files total. This log file contains fatal,error,warn and info entries.
When Debug log level is enabled, additional `readarr.debug.txt` rolling log files will be present, up to 51 files. This log files contains fatal,error,warn,info and debug entries. It usually covers a 40h period.
When Trace log level is enabled, additional `readarr.trace.txt` rolling log files will be present, up to 51 files. This log files contains fatal,error,warn,info,debug and trace entries. Due to trace verbosity it only covers a couple of hours.
