# Logging

The PingFederate Apache agent uses an Apache API logging scheme that writes into the standard `logs/error_log` file. This file is created automatically at startup with the verbosity level controlled by `LogLevel` in your `httpd.conf` file.

The PingFederate Apache agent has six internally distinguished verbosity levels, ranging from `0` to `5`. The first four correspond to Apache definitions in `error/warn/notice/info`. The last two levels are for logging HTTP requests, responses, and cURL-library debug output, if necessary. The default level is `0`, which logs only errors.

|   | The Apache agent logs all of its output at the `info` level. To access this output, set the Apache `LogLevel` to `info` in `httpd.conf`, then restart the Apache server. |
