# How to enable logging

Jira Email This Issue (JETI) logs a lot of information to the Jira log files. However, to make this information visible you need to do the following:

1. Add a logger.
2. Monitor the log file.

### Adding a new logger <a href="#howtoenablelogging-addanewlogger" id="howtoenablelogging-addanewlogger"></a>

Go to Jira **Administration** --> **System** --> **Logging and profiling**. Scroll down to **Default Loggers** and click **Configure a logging level for another package** and set the fields as shown in the image below:

![](/files/n3dborueanhzyhkkoa8V)

This needs to be done every time after Jira starts up. The new logger will enable the output from Email This Issue to appear in the log files.

### Monitoring the log files <a href="#howtoenablelogging-monitorthelogfiles" id="howtoenablelogging-monitorthelogfiles"></a>

The most common way to monitor the log is to access them in the files system under the Jira Home directory and do some log file tailing, e.g. `tail -f atlassian-jira.log`

Another, more convenient method is the following: Use [Last Log for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.cps.lastLog/server/overview) that is a free add-on available at the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/4977/email-this-issue?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud). This tool reveals log files to Jira administrators without having to access the server Jira is running on.
