# How to disable logging

By default, all Akto modules have logging enabled for visibility and troubleshooting purposes, ensuring that critical events and activities are recorded for better debugging and monitoring.

### Disabling Logs:

* Set the environment variable `ENABLE_LOGS` to `false` to disable logging to `stdout/stderr`.
* Logs will then be redirected to a file: `/tmp/dump.log`.

### Log Storage Details:

* Logs are stored on a rolling basis with a default file size limit of 10MB.
* This limit can be customized using the `MAX_LOG_SIZE` environment variable (value in bytes).
