Log Files

Libbitcoin Server writes log data to two files.

The logging.error_file configuration setting controls the path to the error log. The error log generally contains few if any entries. It is designed to alert the administrator of potential problems that may require intervention.

The logging.debug_file configuration setting controls the path to the debug log. The debug log is designed to provide developers insight into internal operations of the server, and is very verbose. The debug log can grow quickly, especially during initial server synchronization.

Either log may be deleted when the server is not running.
