# Log files for Windows services

You can configure the log files generated by PingAuthorize Server running as a Windows service.

Log files are stored in `<server-root>/logs`, and file names begin with `windows-service-wrapper`.

You can edit the log file configurations in the `<server-root>/config/wrapper.conf` file.

Log files are configured to rotate each time the wrapper starts due to file size. You can edit the allowed file size using the `wrapper.logfile.maxsize` parameter. The default size is 50 Mb.

By default, only the two most recent log files are retained. You can change how many log files to retain by editing the `wrapper.logfile.maxfiles` parameter.
