Overview


Log files generated by ColdFusion

Debugging & Logging > Log Files

 

ColdFusion generates several log files that you use to monitor the activities associated with your server and ColdFusion applications. By default, all of the log files are stored in the cf_root/logs directory (server configuration) or the cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/logs directory (J2EE configuration).
