## Log Options

- `-log-file` ((#\_log_file)) - writes all the Consul agent log messages
to a file. This value is used as a prefix for the log file name. The current timestamp
is appended to the file name. If the value ends in a path separator, `consul-`
to a file, filename defaults to `consul.log`.
On rotation, this value is used as a prefix for the log file name.
The current timestamp is appended to the file name. If the value ends in a path separator, `consul-`
will be appended to the value. If the file name is missing an extension, `.log`
is appended. For example, setting `log-file` to `/var/log/` would result in a log
file path of `/var/log/consul-{timestamp}.log`. `log-file` can be combined with
file path of `/var/log/consul.log`. `log-file` can be combined with
[`-log-rotate-bytes`](#_log_rotate_bytes) and [-log-rotate-duration](#_log_rotate_duration)
for a fine-grained log rotation experience.
