== Log File Locations ==
The location of log files depends on your operating system:
* '''Windows''' - In folder options, choose to show hidden files/folders.
** '''XP''': <code>C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\SecondLife\logs</code>
** '''Vista and Windows 7''': <code>C:\Users\<username>\appdata\roaming\SecondLife\logs</code>
* '''MacOSX''' - <code>/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SecondLife/logs</code>
* '''Linux''' - <code>/home/<username>/.secondlife/logs</code>
 
==Log Files==
The Viewer creates the following list of log files in the logs folder where user data is stored. These are used for normal application logging, crash reporting, and so on.
=== SecondLife.log ===
Store for status and debugging output from the Viewer. This file continues to grow while Second Life is active and tends to become large. If too large it is trimmed by the crash logging application.
=== SecondLife.old ===
Upon initialization of logging for a Viewer session, the Viewer renames the existing SecondLife.log to SecondLife.old. SecondLife.old is used when the Viewer reports a freeze in the previous execution.
=== debug_info.log ===
This log is initialized after freeze reporting to contain information about the Viewer's state. When a crash is handled, additional information is added to this file about the state of the Viewer at the time of the crash. This log is the main source of non-crash stack data for viewer crash reporting.
=== SecondLifeException.log ===
This file stores raw callstack information from the Viewer. Its created during crash handling. It is deleted after freeze reporting so that future freeze reporting will not include any irrelevant call stack info.
