+Logging & Diagnostic Information
+---------------------------------
+
+In the Istanbul release, the logs are kept inside the docker containers, which means that you can get the log information only when the docker is still running.
+
+Where to Access Information
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are two ways for a user to get the logs.
+
+
+* Assume that the name of a running docker is *holmes-rule-mgmt*, the way to get the log is to run the command ``docker logs ${docker-name}`` in the command window:
+
+  ``sudo docker logs holmes-rule-mgmt``
+
+  Then the logs will be displayed in the command window.
+
+* Get into the docker containers by running ``sudo docker exec -it ${docker-name} sh``. Go to the path ``/var/log/ONAP/holmes/`` and find the logs there.
+
