= Viewing log entries
You may need to view log entries to diagnose errors, performance problems, and other important issues. A log entry consists of an optional timestamp, the logging module, the logging level, and the log message.
.Procedure
* Do one of the following:
** View log entries on the console.
+
By default, events are logged to the console, and you can view them there. However, if the `output` attribute is set for a particular logging module, then you can find those log entries in the specified location (`stderr`, `syslog`, or a file).
** Use the *`qdstat --log`* command to view recent log entries.
+
--
You can use the `--limit` parameter to limit the number of log entries that are displayed. For more information about `qdstat`, see {qdstatManPageLink}.
This example displays the last three log entries for `Router.A`:
