I am looking for event logs in discourse like if an user creates a question or reply for a question. I looked at following log files

Rails Log → `apps/discourse/htdocs/log/production.log`  
Apache Log → `apache2/logs/access_log` & `apache2/logs/error_log`  
Redis Log → `redis/var/log/redis-server.log`  
PostgreSQL Logs → `postgresql/postgresql.log`

but I could not find any detailed log while new question is crated, or on reply to a question.

You can look at /admin /logs, but I think you want the [data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for replying, I think [data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin is for making database query. Currently, I am looking for more detailed log file of user actions.

There is no more detailed log than the database. That’s where everything is logged.
