# Checking domain logs for errors and warnings

Check the domain logs to find errors or warnings in your domain path processes and hierarchy configurations.

You can find the domain logs in the Domain Log \[syslog\_domain\] table. When the domain hierarchy updates, the system triggers a scheduled job to recalculate the domain paths. The domain logs table captures the results.

Look for any errors and warnings in this table. After reviewing this table, you need to resolve these errors and run the domain path validator again.

In this example of a log, the system has detected ten orphan records in the sys\_ui\_list table. The errors in these records must be fixed before the domain path can run successfully.
