Step 1: Where to find logs

The standard subdirectories under the Looker user’s home directory (usually /home/looker) are described below

The logs are inside the log directory.

Step 2: What day to get

The current day's log is called looker.log and is currently being written to. The other logs have dates in their filenames.

IMPORTANT: If you are downloading your today's log, make a copy of today's log. if you tamper with looker.log in any way then the instance will stop writing log files.
