Logs¶
The Logs page shows runtime logs from the sing-box core, useful for troubleshooting connection issues and configuration errors.
Log Levels¶
| Level | Color | Description |
|---|---|---|
| info | Blue | General runtime information |
| warning | Yellow | Warning — doesn't affect operation |
| error | Red | Error — may affect functionality |
The log level can be adjusted in Settings → Basic. For daily use, keep it at warn to avoid too much output. When troubleshooting, temporarily switch to info or debug for more detail.
