 # Configuring Logging
+
+By default, KumoMTA writes to a JSON log format, the format of which can be found on the [Logging Reference Page](../../reference/kumo/configure_local_logs.md#log-record),
+
+## Basic Log Configuration
+
+The simplest logging configuration, added to the init event, is as follows:
+
+```lua
+  kumo.configure_local_logs {
+    log_dir = '/var/log/kumomta',
+  }
+  ```
+
+## OS Considerations
+
+The log directory should be isolated to its own partition, in order to prevent a full log partition from affecting the overall server. For best performance, the log directory should be on a separate disk from the spool. The log partition should be monitored to ensure that the disk does not fill to 100% capacity.
+
+## Compression and Rotation
+
+By default, the server writes logs in a [Zstandard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zstd) **zstd** compressed format, resulting in high storage efficiency as logs are written, instead of having to write large files to disk and compress them during file rotation.
+
+By default, files are rotated after every 1Gb of uncompressed log data, resulting in files on disk that are approximately 50MB in size. The maximum size is configurable, see the [Logging Reference Page](../../reference/kumo/configure_local_logs.md#max_file_size). Rotated logs can be viewed using the *ztsdcat* utility. It is possible to configure KumoMTA to rotate logs on a time interval basis:
+
+```lua
+kumo.configure_local_logs {
+  -- ..
+  max_segment_duration = '5 minutes',
+}
+```
+
+## Logging Message Headers
+
+It's a common practice to encode important per-user or per-campaign information in message headers, or to use a message Subject line as an identifier in reporting. This requires logging the headers, which can be achieved by specifying the desired headers in the configuration:
+
+```lua
+kumo.configure_local_logs {
+  -- ..
+  headers = { 'Subject', 'X-Client-ID' },
+}
+```
+
+## Customizing the log format
+
+If a non-JSON format is needed for the logs, the *template* option can be used:
+
+```lua
+kumo.configure_local_logs {
+  -- ..
+  template = [[{{type}} id={{ id }}, from={{ sender }} code={{ code }} age={{ timestamp - created }}]],
+}
+```
+
+The [Mini Jinja](https://docs.rs/minijinja/latest/minijinja/) templating engine
+is used to evalute logging templates.  The full supported syntax is [documented
+here](https://docs.rs/minijinja/latest/minijinja/syntax/index.html). Any key present in the [default log format](../../reference/kumo/configure_local_logs.md#log-record) can be used in the templating engine.
+
+## Configuring Individual Record Types
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to configure logging on a more granular basis, especially when using custom log formats. KumoMTA supports this using the *per_record* option:
+
+```lua
+kumo.configure_local_logs {
+  per_record = {
+    Reception = {
+      -- use names like "20230306-022811_recv" for reception logs
+      suffix = '_recv',
+    },
+
+    Delivery = {
+      -- put delivery logs in a different directory
+      log_dir = '/var/log/kumo/delivery',
+    },
+
+    TransientFailure = {
+      -- Don't log transient failures
+      enable = false,
+    },
+
+    Bounce = {
+      -- Instead of logging the json record, evaluate this
+      -- template string and log the result.
+      template = [[Bounce! id={{ id }}, from={{ sender }} code={{ code }} age={{ timestamp - created }}]],
+    },
+
+    -- For any record type not explicitly listed, apply these settings.
+    -- This effectively turns off all other log records
+    Any = {
+      enable = false,
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+This can be used to override paths, disable logs, or customize the format of specific event types.
