## Access Logs
Access logs are written when `[accessLog]` is defined.
By default it will write to stdout and produce logs in the textual [Common Log Format (CLF)](#clf-common-log-format), extended with additional fields.
Access logs are written when the entry `[accessLog]` is defined (or the command line flag `--accesslog`).
By default it writes to stdout and produces logs in the textual [Common Log Format (CLF)](#clf-common-log-format), extended with additional fields.
To enable access logs using the default settings just add the `[accessLog]` entry:

To customize logs format, you must switch to the JSON format:
### CLF - Common Log Format
By default, Traefik use the CLF (`common`) as access log format.
```html
<remote_IP_address> - <client_user_name_if_available> [<timestamp>] "<request_method> <request_path> <request_protocol>" <origin_server_HTTP_status> <origin_server_content_size> "<request_referrer>" "<request_user_agent>" <number_of_requests_received_since_Traefik_started> "<Traefik_frontend_name>" "<Traefik_backend_URL>" <request_duration_in_ms>ms
```
### Customize Fields
You can customize the fields written in the access logs.
The list of available fields is found below: [List of All Available Fields](#list-of-all-available-fields).
Each field has a "mode" which defines if it is written or not in the access log lines.
The possible values for the mode are:
* `keep`: the field and its value are written on the access log line. This is the default behavior.
* `drop`: the field is not written at all on the access log.
To customize the fields, you must:
* Switch to the JSON format (mandatory)
* Define the "default mode" for all fields (default is `keep`)
* OR Define the fields which does not follow the default mode
```toml
[accessLog]
filePath = "/path/to/access.log"
format = "json" # Default: "common"
[accessLog.filters]
# statusCodes keep only access logs with status codes in the specified range

### Customize Headers
Access logs prints the headers of each request, as fields of the access log line.
You can customize which and how the headers are printed, likewise the other fields (see ["Customize Fields" section](#customize-fields)).
Each header has a "mode" which defines how it is written in the access log lines.
The possible values for the mode are:
* `keep`: the header and its value are written on the access log line. This is the default behavior.
* `drop`: the header is not written at all on the access log.
* `redacted`: the header is written, but its value is redacted to avoid leaking sensitive information.
To customize the headers, you must:
* Switch to the JSON format (mandatory)
* Define the "default mode" for all headers (default is `keep`)
* OR Define the headers which does not follow the default mode
!!! important
The headers are written with the prefix `request_` in the access log.
This prefix must not be included when specifying a header in the TOML configuration.
* Do: `"User-Agent" = "drop"`
* Don't: `"redacted_User-Agent" = "drop"`

## Log Rotation
Traefik will close and reopen its log files, assuming they're configured, on receipt of a USR1 signal.
