 If you experience problems, the best explanation of the issue is often in a log file. If you want to investigate yourself or ask others for support in the forum or the IRC channel, they will ask for a log file \(or files\) and configuration data to look at.
 
-Kodi has `default` and `debug` log modes. Debug logs show more detail and are more useful for staff and forum regulars to work with. If you are aked for a log - assume the request is for a `debug` log and for the entire log file, not just the small snippet that you think is useful \(often we need to see and understand the configuration too\).

 The settings add-on has a built-in "paste" function that grabs the current Kodi log file and other useful system configuration details and sends them to the [http://ix.io](http://ix.io) pastebin service. It is an easy way for inexperienced \(or command-line phobic\) users to share logs.
 
 Navigate to LibreELEC → System → scroll down to `Paste system logs` and press enter to submit them. Once the upload completes the GUI will show a short URL that you can copy and use in a forum post or while chatting to developers on IRC.

-If Samba \(SMB Sharing\) is enabled we can collect the log file by accessing the `Logfile` folder over the network. This is a special folder. Each time you access it the system triggers a task to collect the current Kodi log and system configuration, and packages everything into a single zip file that can be copied to your local machine or unpacked in-situ. Files are named with date and time to make it easier to find the latest file. Inside the zip are multiple files. The main one project staff will be interested in is `KODI.log`

-Instead, open the file in a text editor and then copy/paste the content to an interenet "paste" service like [https://pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com) and share a link to the paste. This makes reviewing your log a "one click" exercise \(so more people will review it\) and saves a ton of disk space on our forum server.

-The "Kodi Log Uploader" add-on can be installed from the Kodi add-on repo. It will detect that is used on LibreELEC to collect the correct log files, and it performs the same task as the paste function in the LibreELEC settings add-on. The main difference is that it displays a QR code to make the process of copying the pastebin URL for use easier \(for some\). It also sends the log to the Team Kodi pastebin service, which uses special highlighting to make reading the logfile easier for developers and forum staff.
