# Logs Overview

The Cortex XSOAR logs provide information about events that occur in the system. These logs are a valuable tool in troubleshooting issues that might arise in your Cortex XSOAR environment. The Cortex XSOAR logs are located in `/var/log/demisto/`.

### Note

Additional Cortex XSOAR logs are available when you create a log bundle. For information about log bundles, see [Create a Log Bundle](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/logs/create-a-log-bundle.md).

| Log     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |

| server  | <p>The server log is automatically created and maintained by the server. It consists of a list of all activities performed by the server. It is constantly updated. This is the main log to view if there are problems in the system.</p><p>To quickly locate error messages, search for <strong><code>error</code></strong> in the log. Often, the error messages shown in the log do not indicate a serious problem. Serious errors will appear in the UI as well as in the server log.</p> |
| elastic | Displays a list of all activities associated with Elasticsearch. The elastic log exists only when a Cortex XSOAR environment uses Elasticsearch. Use the information in this log to troubleshoot Elasticsearch issues.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| d1      | The d1 log appears when a Cortex XSOAR Engine is running. The d1 log contains information necessary to debug Engine related issue. The log displays Engine related errors, as well as noting if the Engine is connected.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/logs/logs-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
