Locate log files

Locate GoLand log

Click Help | Show Log in <file_browser>. The idea.log file contains recent log information about your IDE performance.

Change location of the SQL log

To change location of the SQL log, add the -Didea.system.path property to the custom VM options. This change affects all logs.

Click Help | Edit Custom VM Options.
At the end of the option list, add the following line: -Didea.system.path=/path/to/your_log_directory.

Configure GoLand log settings

To avoid editing the log.xml file itself, GoLand suggests a handy dialog to change logging level for a category. This file resides under the bin directory of GoLand installation.

Click Help | Diagnostic Tools | Debug Log Settings.
In the Custom Debug Log Configuration dialog, type the log categories names, separated with new lines.
