Hi @hypercoyote (nice handle, btw), with HSL it will be sent to the log server defined in a pool you will need to set up. If you comment HSL out and uncomment the log statements, those will log to local file system. However, logging a lot of data traffic can be taxing on file i/o and slow things down, so you're better off logging remotely except for the design phase and troubleshooting.
