The system_log component stores information about all logged errors and warnings in Home Assistant. All collected information is accessible directly in the frontend, just navigate to the Info section under Developer Tools. In order to not overload Home Assistant with log data, only the 50 last errors and warnings will be stored. Older entries are automatically discarded from the log. It is possible to change the amount of stored log entries using the parameter max_entries.

This component is automatically loaded by the frontend (so no need to do anything if you are using the frontend). If you are not doing so, or if you wish to change a parameter, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:

system_log:
  max_entries: MAX_ENTRIES

{% configuration %} max_entries: description: Number of entries to store (older entries are discarded). required: false type: int default: 50 {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Services %}

{% linkable_title Service clear %}

To manually clear the system log, call this service.
