# Logging
Log files are stored in the [application folder](/docs/help/application-folder.md).
The latest log file  is named `ludusavi_rCURRENT.log`,
and any other log files will be named with a timestamp (e.g., `ludusavi_r2000-01-02_03-04-05.log`).

By default, only warnings and errors are logged,
but you can customize this by setting the `RUST_LOG` environment variable
(e.g., `RUST_LOG=ludusavi=debug`).
The most recent 5 log files are kept, rotating on app launch or when a log reaches 10 MiB.

The CLI also supports a global `--debug` option,
which sets the maximum log level and opens the log folder after running.
In this case, a separate `ludusavi_debug.log` file will be created,
without any rotation or maximum size.
Be mindful that the file size may increase rapidly during a full scan.
