# Service logs

After the Spotfire Service for Python is installed and started, it begins writing to the logs. These logs are stored in the directory <node manager installation>/logs.

Log name | Description
--- | ---
service-<instanceid>-stdout.log | Prints `INFO`-level information about the service startup, shut down, and any exceptions. It also prints the Jetty component to the standard log files. Note: To set Jetty logging to `DEBUG` level, in the startup script (start-py-service.sh for Linux nodes, startPy.bat for Windows nodes), uncomment the command `SET JETTY_DEBUG=-Dorg.eclipse.jetty.LEVEL=DEBUG`.
`Python-service-<instanceid>.log` | Prints configuration options that the Spotfire Service for Python starts with. Provides granular level of the individual engines, job execution details.
