+Logging
+=======
+
+By default paperless logs to standard output and to the database. Logs can be browsed from the paperless web interface in the ``Log`` section.
+
+Sentry
+------
+
+Paperless can be configured to send errors to the  `sentry.io`_ error tracking software by setting the ``PAPERLESS_SENTRY_DSN`` value in ``paperless.conf``.
+
+.. _sentry.io: https://sentry.io/welcome/
+
+Custom logger
+-------------
+
+Paperless support customizing the logging configuration by using a ``/etc/paperless/logging.yml`` file. This file should be in the yaml format and is passed without modification to the python logging ``dictConfig``. For more information
+about the format see:
