Virtually every troubleshooting step should start with a look at the associated log file or files. These files provide invaluable information about the activity that has taken place on the device or within the application and can be used to monitor performance and ensure proper configuration. See Table 6.1, “Log Files” for the paths to all relevant log files:
| Component | Log File Location |
