There are many log files produced by SME Server. Some are standard, some are generated by contributions. This page aims to bring together enough knowledge to understand what generates each log file, what they are for, and how to interpret them.

+
+Most of the SME log files are created using D.J. Bernstein's [http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html multilog].
+* Multilog logs to a file named 'current' in a subdirectory named for the service
+* Multilog records time as an "@" followed by "a precise timestamp".
+* Pipe multilog output through '''tai64nlocal''' to have multilog's cryptic time stamp converted to a human-readable form:
+ tail -f /var/log/qpsmtpd/current | tai64nlocal
+
+Some SME logs are still created using syslog or another process (not multilog).
