Finding the atlassian-crowd.log File

When you report a problem to Atlassian Support, we may ask you to send us your atlassian-crowd.log file. The location of the log file may vary, depending on your Crowd installation type. Provided that you have not changed the log file location from the default, the Crowd log file is at the location described below.
