# Enabling or disabling a default log publisher

You can enable or disable any log publisher available on PingAuthorize Server using the `dsconfig` tool.

## About this task

By default, the following loggers are disabled and should only be enabled when troubleshooting an issue on the server:

* File-Based Audit Logger

* File-Based Debug Logger

## Steps

* To enable an access log publisher, run `dsconfig` with the `set-log-publisher-prop` subcommand.

  ### Example:

  In this example, the Console JSON LDAP Access Logger is enabled, which publishes JSON-formatted access log messages to the JVM's original standard output or standard error stream.

  ```shell
  $ bin/dsconfig set-log-publisher-prop \
    --publisher-name "Console JSON LDAP Access Logger" \
    --set enabled:true
  ```
