This document explains how to configure MinIO server to log to different logging targets.

## Log Targets

MinIO supports currently two target types

- console
- http

### Logging Console Target

Console target is on always and cannot be disabled.

### Logging HTTP Target

All the code blocks can be copied and used directly (they are actually tested Python files).

To run any of the examples, copy the code to a file `main.py`, and start `fastapi dev`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ <font color="#4E9A06">fastapi</font> dev

  <span style="background-color:#009485"><font color="#D3D7CF"> FastAPI </font></span>  Starting development server 🚀

version: v1
address: ':9000'
console-address: ':9001'
certs-dir: '/home/user/.minio/certs/'
pools: # Specify the nodes and drives with pools
  -
        - 'https://server-example-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/'
        - 'https://server1-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/'
        - 'https://server3-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/'
        - 'https://server4-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/'
  -
        - 'https://server-example-pool2:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/'

    print("Hello, world!")  # Print greeting

Some more text

```toml
# This is a sample TOML code block
title = "TOML Example"  # Title of the document
```

And more text

```console
// Use the command "live" and pass the language code as a CLI argument
$ python ./scripts/docs.py live es

Result (German):

```console
$ <font color="#4E9A06">fastapi</font> run <u style="text-decoration-style:solid">main.py</u>
<span style="background-color:#009485"><font color="#D3D7CF"> FastAPI </font></span>  Starting server
        Searching for package file structure
```

Source (English) - The code block is a console example containing 5 comments:


```console
// Go to the home directory
$ cd

```

The following block has wrong language code (should be TOML):

```
# This is a sample TOML code block
title = "TOML Example"  # Title of the document
```

And more text

```console
// Use the command "live" and pass the language code as a CLI argument
$ python ./scripts/docs.py live es

<span style="color: green;">[INFO]</span> Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8008

```

Some more text

```toml
# This is a sample TOML code block
title = "TOML Example"  # Title of the document
```

Extra code block

```
$ cd my_project
```

And more text

```console
// Use the command "live" and pass the language code as a CLI argument
$ python ./scripts/docs.py live es
