# Log files and where to find them
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Locating Log Files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
The kometa.log file can be found within the `logs` folder of your Kometa config folder [right next to `config.yml`].
|
||

|
`kometa.log` is the most recent run of Kometa, `kometa.log.1` is the previous run, `kometa.log.2` is the run before that, so on and so forth.
|

|
As new log files are created, the old ones get a numeric suffix added: `kometa.log.1`. **The most recent is always the one without a number at the end.**

### Providing Log Files on Discord
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
7 months ago
|
You can drag-and-drop your kometa.log file directly into [Discord](https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/discord/), you do not need to upload it to a third-party site unless it exceeds the 50mb size limit.
|
||
|
11 months ago
|
|
||
|
|
Please DO NOT manually extract, copy and paste text from your log files directly into Discord as the formatting can be difficult to read and can often redact parts of the log file that are important for full context.

||
|

### Basic Log File Troubleshooting

Wondering how to troubleshoot Kometa and how to read through the kometa.log?

|

|
|
**Using a text editor like [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com/) is recommended**
|
||
|
|
|

|
In all cases, the first step is to open the [`kometa.log`](#locating-log-files) with your text editor and perform these steps:

|
1. Check that you are running the latest [`version`](#checking-Kometa-version) of your branch. Your current version can be found in the `kometa.log` file either below the Kometa ASCII art, or at the end of the run. If you are not on the latest version of your branch, you will see `Newest Version: X.X.X` below this. Ensure you [`upgrade`](install/local.md#i-want-to-update-to-the-latest-version-of-kometa) to the latest version of Kometa.
|
||
|
|
2. When scanning your kometa.log file, search for `[CRITICAL]` items first as these will definitely need to be fixed
|
||
|
|
3. Scan your kometa.log file for `[ERROR]` and make a note of the content of the full line to start your search below on how to resolve

### Other Troubleshooting Examples

The Log files will contain a great deal of detail about what exactly is happening and why. Generally speaking, if you're having a problem with Kometa the answer will be found here. These logs can of course be quite technical, but often the error can be relatively clear:

Something's missing from the format of the file:
|
||
|
|

||

|
|

|
|
| YAML Error: metadata, collections, or dynamic_collections attribute is required |
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The problem in that case was:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|

||

YAML doesn't allow duplicate keys:

|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The problem there was something like this:
