Hey @m_pahlevanzadeh !

If you're looking for Elasticsearch logs, in Linux it depends on whether you're using a package install or a tar.gz:

- Debian / RPM package installs log to `/var/log/elasticsearch`
- tar.gz installs log to `$ES_HOME/logs`

You can check the [Elasticsearch logging](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/logging.html) page for more info.
