All logging information is stored in the folder of the running instance.

 chat.log::
   Chat messages from client (including join, leave and death) and server (say command) are redirected to this file.
 commandExecutions.log::
   Commands executed by players and through the telnet interface are logged here.
 output.log::
   The scripts automatically start a log monitor whenever an instance is started. This log monitor writes every new log line in ''SDTD_BASE/engine/7DaysToDie_Data/output_log.txt'' to this file but prepends the current time to the line. This way you can see at what time a single line in the log was written.
 players.log::
   When the log monitor sees a line for a player connect or disconnect event an entry in this file is generated, stating the time of the event, connect ("+++") or disconnect ("---"), entity id for the player, nickname, Steam ID and client IP.
 stdout.log::
   Console output of the engine is redirected to this file.
 players.xml::
   The monitor also stores information on players that have been on the server in this file. Here each unique player gets one XML entry containing this information:
   * steamid
   * nickname
   * playtime - total playtime in seconds
   * logins - number of logins
   * lastlogin - time of last login as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time unix time]
   * online - current state as boolean
   * entityid - entity id during current/last login
   * lastIp - IP the player had when last time connected
