# Logging

Each time Keyfax is launched, an optional entry can be added to the KeyNamics log. Each log entry contains the Startup and Export data, sent to, and received from, Keyfax, together with any error messages. Logging can be switced off as required - see KeyNamics [Settings](/product-suite/keynamics/configuration/settings.md)
