# How to enable UTBot logging in IntelliJ IDEA

In UTBot we use loggers like the following one:


`val logger = Logger.getInstance(CodeGenerator::class.java)`


Instead of sending loggers output in the standard stream or a file, we can put them right into IntelliJ IDEA. So, let\`s do it then! 😃


1. In UTBot repository find Gradle > Tasks > intellij > runIde and choose it with the right button click

2. Select Modify Run Configuration... item, and then Modify options > Specify logs to be shown in console

3. Click ➕ and add new Idea log file (or choose any name you want for it 😉) in the Log files to be shown in console section

4. Restart the 'runIde' task, check that the new tab is present in your IDE

5. And we\`re done! 😃 Narrow logging messages to the loggers you are interested in
