# Viewing logs

Updated February 23, 2026

If something isn't working as expected, logs can help you figure out what's going on. You'll find them in **Settings > Troubleshoot**.

## [umbrelOS logs](/content/support/troubleshooting/viewing-logs#umbrelos-logs/index.html)

Select **umbrelOS** to view system-level logs. These cover the core operating system — things like startup, updates, networking, and background services. This is where to look if your Umbrel itself is having issues.

## [App logs](/content/support/troubleshooting/viewing-logs#app-logs/index.html)

Select **App** and choose an app from the list to view its logs. This is where to look if a specific app is crashing, not starting, or behaving unexpectedly. You can also get to an app's logs by right-clicking the app icon on your home screen and selecting **Troubleshoot**.

If in doubt, download both — it's the quickest way to give support everything they need. For help figuring out whether the issue is app-related or system-related, see [Troubleshooting apps](/content/support/apps/troubleshooting-apps/index.html).

## [Getting help](/content/support/troubleshooting/viewing-logs#getting-help/index.html)

You can download logs from the Troubleshoot page to share with support. Who to reach out to depends on the issue:

- **For umbrelOS issues** — reach out to us with your umbrelOS logs and we'll help you diagnose the problem.
- **For app issues** — see [Troubleshooting apps](/content/support/apps/troubleshooting-apps/index.html) for help figuring out who to contact for the best support.

## [Using the terminal](/content/support/troubleshooting/viewing-logs#using-the-terminal/index.html)

For more advanced log inspection, you can use the [built-in Terminal](/content/support/advanced/using-the-built-in-terminal/index.html) or [SSH](/content/support/advanced/ssh-access/index.html) to run any Linux commands you need — for example, `journalctl` for system logs, `docker logs` for app container logs, or `ping` for network diagnostics.
