For each JFrog service, you will find its active log files in the $JFROG_HOME/<product>/var/log directory. For consistency, each log file is prefixed by its service name and a dash, <service-name>-service.log. For example, artifactory-service.log and router-request.log.

The following log files are included for all JFrog Services.

Tip

Administrators working in a self-hosted environment can use REST APIs to temporarily change the debug level of Artifactory loggers without changing the logback.xml file. This can be used to collect more detailed log information for a short period of time when investigating a particular issue. For more information, see LOGGERS.LOGGERS
