# Logging
In this section we explain how the log subsystem is configured.
You configure the log in file application.yaml found in the resources folder of OAG.
There the section logging:
is relevant. This section is standard SpringBoot and you can find details about log configuration for example here (opens new window).
One special thing we are using is the log-pattern. Here we apply %X{oag.CorrId}
. This makes sure that the trace id (or correlation id) is written with each log statement. So make sure your log pattern contains %X{oag.CorrId}
if you need log correlation - which we strongly recommend.
When it comes to log destinations we currently ship only what comes with SpringBoot out of the box.
