# Logging and debugging

> Learn how to debug issues with Algolia extension for Magento 2

Sometimes, things don't go as expected.
As a developer, logs are a great way to figure out why things aren't running as expected.
That's why the extension provides the ability to enable logging.
You can turn logging on by navigating to **Stores > Configuration > Algolia Search > Credentials & Setup**.

<Warning>
  **Don't turn logging on in production.**
  It can create large volumes of data and exhaust your server resources quickly.
  You should only enable logging during development to debug certain processes.
</Warning>

With logging enabled, the extension creates info type logs.
By default, Magento writes info type logs to the following files:

* `var/log/system.log`
* `var/log/debug.log`

Starting with version 3.15 of the Magento integration,
Algolia writes non-critical messages to a separate log file:

* `var/log/algolia.log`

The logs capture information about the following events:

* Full reindex of products
* Rebuilding a page of products
* Loading products' collection
* Indexing of a single product
* Indexing of a collection of products
* Beginning and ending of sending data to Algolia
* Beginning and ending of removing data from Algolia
* Beginning and ending of emulation
* Image loading exceptions that are thrown
* Miscellaneous errors and exceptions
