# Monitoring your OpenProject installation

## Show logs

In a package-based installation, the `openproject` command line tool can be
used to see the log information. The most typically use case is to show/follow
all current log entries. This can be accomplished using the the `–tail` flag.
See example below:

```bash
sudo openproject logs --tail
```

Note:

* On distributions that are based on systemd, all the logs are sent to journald, so you can also display them via `journalctl`.
* On older distributions that use either sysvinit or upstart, all the logs are stored in `/var/log/openproject/`.

In a docker-based installation, all logs are redirected to STDOUT so you can use the normal docker tools to manage your logs.

For instance for the Compose-based installation:

```bash
docker-compose logs -f --tail 1000
```

Or the all-in-one docker installation:

```bash
docker logs -f --tail 1000 openproject
```
