# Where log data files are stored

Logs are stored as a file on the Log Server.

A separate folder is created for the logged events each hour. The log files are stored by default in the <installation directory>/data/ storage/ directory on the Log Server.

The log files have the following naming: YYYYMMDD_hh_C<ORIGINATOR>_MMDDhhmmsssss.arch.

- The date YYYYMMDD_hh refers to the date and hour of the logged events.
- The rest of the file name starting with “_C” refers to the file creation date and the <ORIGINATOR> refers to the originator of the logged events.

The time and date in the file name always use the UTC time zone, which is the system’s internal time zone.
