# Logs
The system produces two sets of logs:
## Application (django) logs
Django emits operational logs to stdout and can be viewed with Docker or via dokku.
To view a snapshot of recent logs with dokku, run:
```
dokku logs APP
```
To view a continuous stream of logs, run:
```
dokku logs APP -t
```
You can view logs for a particular process (`web` or `tasks`), run:
# background tasks
dokku logs APP -p tasks -t
# web requests
dokku logs APP -p web -t
### Viewing logs using docker
The website processes are normal docker containers. You can view the docker logs using standard docker commands, for example:
Find the ID of the docker container you want to check the logs for:
```
docker ps
```
View the logs for that container
```
docker logs -f --since 10m abc123
```
## Nginx access logs
Nginx writes access logs for all requests to `/var/log/nginx/APP-access.log`. View them with a command such as:
```
tail -f /var/log/nginx/APP-access.log
```
These logs are rotated according to your installed nginx log rotation configuration.
## Nginx error logs
Nginx writes error logs to `/var/log/nginx/APP-error.log`. View them with a command such as:
```
tail -f /var/log/nginx/APP-error.log
```
These logs are rotated according to your installed nginx log rotation configuration.
