+## Logging
+
+ZITADEL follows the principles that guide cloud-native and twelve factor applications.
+Logs are a stream of time-ordered events collected from all running processes.
+
+ZITADEL processes write the following events to the standard output:
+
+- Runtime Logs: Define the log level and record format [in the Log configuration section](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/blob/main/cmd/defaults.yaml#L1-L4)
+- Access Logs: Enable logging all HTTP and gRPC responses from the ZITADEL binary [in the LogStore section](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/blob/main/cmd/defaults.yaml#L366) 
+- Actions Exectution Logs: Actions can emit custom logs at different levels. For example, a log record can be emitted each time a user is created or authenticated. If you don't want to have these logs in STDOUT, you can disable this [in the LogStore section](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/blob/main/cmd/defaults.yaml#L387) .
+
+Log file management should not be in each business apps responsibility.
+Instead, your execution environment should provide tooling for managing logs in a generic way.
+This includes tasks like rotating files, routing, collecting, archiving and cleaning-up.
+For example, systemd has journald and kubernetes has fluentd and fluentbit.
