# Logging {#logging}

The chapter [Quickstart](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:logging-quickstart@11.5) helps you get started.

TYPO3 Logging consists of the following components:

-   A [Logger](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:logging-logger@11.5) that receives the log message and related
    details, like a severity.
-   A [LogRecord model](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:logging-model@11.5) which encapsulates the data
-   [Configuration](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:logging-configuration@11.5) of the logging system
-   [Writers](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:logging-writers@11.5) which write the log records to different
    targets (like file, database, rsyslog server, etc.)
-   [Processors](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:logging-processors@11.5) which enhance the log record with
    more detailed information.
