--- id: logger title: "Logger" --- As with any web application, Verdaccio has a customisable built-in logger. You can define multiple types of outputs. ```yaml # console output logs: { type: stdout, format: pretty, level: http } ``` or file output. ```yaml # file output logs: { type: file, path: verdaccio.log, level: info } ``` > Verdaccio 5 does not support rotation file anymore, [here more details](https://verdaccio.org/blog/2021/04/14/verdaccio-5-migration-guide#pinojs-is-the-new-logger). Use `SIGUSR2` to notify the application, the log-file was rotated and it needs to reopen it. Note: Rotating log stream is not supported in cluster mode. [See here](https://github.com/trentm/node-bunyan#stream-type-rotating-file) ### Configuration {#configuration} | Property | Type | Required | Example | Support | Description | | -------- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | type | string | No | [stdout, file] | all | define the output | | path | string | No | verdaccio.log | all | if type is file, define the location of that file | | format | string | No | [pretty, pretty-timestamped] | all | output format | | level | string | No | [fatal, error, warn, http, info, debug, trace] | all | verbose level | | colors | boolean | No | false | v5.7.0 | disable or enable colors |
