Hi,

I’m curious to see why some sidekiq jobs are failling, but I can’t find sidekiq.log in /log. How can I enable this?

All errors should be in /logs. Even sidekiq ones.

Yeah that’s what I understood so far, but they’re neither in log/rails nor in logs/var-log (see below). I’m on a DigitalOcean ‘one-click’ install - perhaps they didn’t enable the sidekiq logging? Is there something in app.yml or another template that I can check?

```
root@discourse-s-6vcpu-16gb-ams3-01-app:/var/www/discourse/log# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 discourse root 39 Apr 22 07:02 production_errors.log -> /shared/log/rails/production_errors.log

I didn’t mean the logs directory at the root of your filesystem but the URI (eg. [https://your.discourse/logs](https://your.discourse/logs)) 😉
