We found some issues during video conference when using openvidu and want to trace the issues in KMS logs. but when I call logs with command “sudo docker-compose logs kms”, the logs show as below:

 ![~MY$FMT`(WS1WWQWM_HAO1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/openvidu/original/2X/0/04a886609badec691416d27acc14091fcb67fbce.png)  
I’m not able to see a meaningful datetime. How can I find the datetime in KMS logs? Thanks

Hi @Micky_Huang1. Thank you for your report. This is a known issue in KMS, you can see it here: [https://github.com/Kurento/bugtracker/issues/545](https://github.com/Kurento/bugtracker/issues/545)

The only way you have to show logs with current time is to launch the Kurento Media Server with this env variable: `KMS_LOGS_PATH=<log-path>`

You can for example create a volume like this in your kms service:

```auto
volumes:
    - /opt/openvidu/kurento-logs/:/opt/openvidu/kurento-logs

```

And configure this env variable:

```auto
environment:
... 
    KMS_LOGS_PATH=/opt/openvidu/kurento-logs

```

This will save the logs into this specific directory with current time.

Regards,  
Carlos

Hi, cruizha, I have change my settings as below:

 ![D(7K}UPF6WM1@EC@DOD{A(C](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/openvidu/original/2X/b/b6e6bfd9ff7a5de8a5f0915cf7978c4c6dab1766.png)  
However, no logs show in the folder /opt/openvidu/kurento-logs after video conference created. Anything missed? thanks

Sorry, I’ve misspelled the variable `KMS_LOGS_PATH`. It is:

```auto
- KURENTO_LOGS_PATH=/opt/openvidu/kurento-logs

```
