# Connector logs [es-connectors-logs]


This document describes logs for connectors.


## Enable logs [es-connectors-logs-enable]

### Self-managed connectors [es-connectors-logs-enable-self-managed]

Note that self-managed deployments and self-managed connector logs are written to `STDOUT`.

Self-managed connectors have the following logging options:

* Use the `service.log_level` setting in your connector service configuration file to specify the log level for the service.

    * Enable `elasticsearch.bulk.enable_operations_logging` to log the result of sending documents to Elasticsearch from connectors, for auditing and debugging. This setting depends on the `service.log_level` and will be logged at `DEBUG` level .

* Use the `elasticsearch.log_level` setting to specify the log level for the Elasticsearch *client* used by the connector service.


## View connector logs [es-connectors-logs-view]

You can view logs in Kibana.

You can filter by `service.type`:
