All logs generated by the Chef server can be found in /var/log/opscode. Each service enabled on the system also has a sub-directory in which service-specific logs are located, typically found in /var/log/opscode/service_name.

> chef-server-ctl tail

This article about logging in Chef was very easy to read and understand. I liked how it explained the steps in simple words so anyone can follow along. The part about why logging is important really helped me see how it keeps track of what happens in the system. I also liked the clear examples that showed how to read and check logs. It made a topic that sounds hard feel simple and easy. Thank you for writing this helpful post — it made learning about Chef logging much easier.
