## BigchainDB Server Logging and Log Rotation
BigchainDB Server writes its logs to the files:
BigchainDB Server writes its logs to two files: normal logs and error logs. The names of those files, and their locations, are set as part of the BigchainDB configuration settings. The default names and locations are:
- `bigchaindb.log`
- `bigchaindb-errors.log`
- `bigchaindb-benchmark.log`
- `~/bigchaindb.log`
- `~/bigchaindb-errors.log`
The default is for those files to be created in the same directory where you ran `bigchaindb start`.
If you started BigchainDB Server and Tendermint using Monit, as suggested by our guide on
[How to Set Up a BigchainDB Network](../simple-deployment-template/network-setup.html),
then the logs will be written to `$HOME/.bigchaindb-monit/logs/`.
Log rotation is baked into BigchainDB Server using Python's `logging` module.
The logs for BigchainDB Server are rotated when any of the above mentioned files exceeds 209715200 bytes (i.e. approximately 209 MB).
See also: [the BigchainDB Server configuration settings related to logging](../server-reference/configuration.html#log).
For more information, see the docs about [the BigchainDB Server configuration settings related to logging](../server-reference/configuration.html#log).
