Log Settings

Libbitcoin Server writes log data to two files.

The log.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 log.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. Additional verbosity can be specified using the log.verbose setting.

The debug log can grow quickly, especially during initial server synchronization. Log rotation may be enabled and customized via configuration.
