## Debug Logging
To enable debug (much more verbose) logging, it is currently required to manually edit config files since no options exist yet on the frontend.
Go to the Jellyfin configuration directory, find the `logging.default.json` file, and change the minimum level to debug as seen below.
To enable much more verbose debug logging, it is currently required to manually edit configuration files since no option yet exists to enable debug functionality within the frontend UI.
Go to the [Jellyfin configuration directory](/docs/general/administration/configuration#configuration-directory) and find the `logging.json` file if it exists, or the `logging.default.json` file if it does not. Debug logging is then enabled by changing the minimum logging level to debug as in the examples below.
The `logging.default.json` file should be modified as below.

The structure for the `logging.json` file is slightly different, and should be modified as below.
```json

"MinimumLevel": "Debug"
}
}

Jellyfin will automatically reload the new configuration without needing to restart.
The debug messages show up in the log with the `DBG` tag.
Once the need for verbose logging has passed, debug logging can be again disabled by reversing the above changes back the default value of `"Information"`.
## Real Time Monitoring
This will let Jellyfin automatically update libraries when files are added or modified.
