## Reporting Your Issues

If you encounter any issues or have questions about Relay nodes:

* Join our [<Icon icon="discord" /> Discord community <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" />](https://discord.com/invite/fortytwo). Relay Noderunners have access to the `#relay-support` channel.
  * The Relay Noderunner role is required to access the `#relay-support` channel and is assigned to you automatically if you specify your Discord username in your [Relay Application Form <Icon icon="arrow-up-right" />](https://tally.so/r/9qN9Ap).
  * If your role was not automatically assigned, contact our Community team on Discord.
* Use the `#tech-questions` channel to join the discussion on general issue-related topics.

## Finding Log Files

To view logs as files, they have to be exported out of Docker.

The following should be executed from the node repository folder, where your `.env` and `docker-compose.yml` are located.

### View Logs

```bash theme={null}
docker compose logs -f -t --tail 100
```

Prints the last 100 lines of logs for all services, then continues streaming new ones.<br />
Change `--tail` option to another value if required.

### Export Logs

Logs can be exported to any directory, yet if you don't define a custom path, the log file gets generated in the **default location**.

<Note>
  **The path where your node is installed might differ from the default path if you altered it at the node installation step as defined on the '[Quick Start](/docs/relay-quick-start)' page.**

    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows" icon="windows">

## Default Installation Location

Default installation paths are relative to your home directory.
