# Logs

## Introduction

For every action in, or request to the Valtimo backend, a lot of information is logged. This information can be used for debugging or troubleshooting purposes in a production process, or might be relevant for an administrator that is working on a new case configuration.

## Feature overview

The logs overview is available through the `Admin -> Logs` menu. This list contains all stored loglines, with the most recent lines on top. Per logline, the timestamp, log level and first part of the message are shown.

Log entries are cleared after a certain period to prevent the database from filling up. By default, this period is set to 21 days.
