# Log files

> Learn about Pixyz log files, including their default storage locations and configuration options.

Pixyz produces log files. You can use these log files to understand where any problems happened in your workflow or application.

Log files are stored in different locations depending on the operating system it runs on. The default locations are outlined on this page, but you can also use certain functions to control when and where Pixyz generates log files. For more information, see the [log files](../../api/python/core_functions#setlogfile) and [verbose functions](../../api/python/core_functions#addsessionlogfileverbose) in the API documentation.

> **Note:**
>
> Log files are written to disk at exit.

Default directory location for log files:

| OS      | Path                  |
| ------- | --------------------- |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%/PixyzSDK/` |
| Linux   | `~/PixyzSDK/`         |
| macOS   | `~/PixyzSDK/`         |

> **Important:**
>
> Change "PixyzSDK" in the path if Pixyz was initialized with a custom product name.
