+ Debugging and Logging
+=======================
+
+You may view Ceph log files under ``/var/log/ceph`` (the default location).
+
+Ceph is still on the leading edge, so you may encounter situations that require
+using Ceph's debugging and logging. To activate and configure Ceph's debug
+logging, refer to `Ceph Logging and Debugging`_. For additional logging
+settings, refer to the `Logging and Debugging Config Reference`_.
+
+.. _Ceph Logging and Debugging: ../../config-cluster/ceph-conf#ceph-logging-and-debugging
+.. _Logging and Debugging Config Reference: ../../config-cluster/log-and-debug-ref
+
+You can change the logging settings at runtime so that you don't have to
+stop and restart the cluster. Refer to `Ceph Configuration - Runtime Changes`_
+for additional details.
+
+Debugging may also require you to track down memory and threading issues.
+You can run a single daemon, a type of daemon, or the whole cluster with
+Valgrind. You should only use Valgrind when developing or debugging Ceph.
+Valgrind is computationally expensive, and will slow down your system otherwise.
+Valgrind messages are logged to ``stderr``.
