# Tableau Content Migration Tool Log Files

Tableau Content Migration Tool generates log files when you run migrations. These can be helpful for troubleshooting problems.

**Note:** For information on all the Content Migration Tool settings, see [Tableau Content Migration Tool Settings](https://help.tableau.com/current/server-linux/en-gb/cmt-settings.htm).

## Content Migration Tool Log File Location

To find the Content Migration Tool log files from within the Content Migration Tool:

1. Start Content Migration Tool.
2. Click Help and Settings:
    
    ![The Settings option in the Help dropdown menu.](/tableau/current/en-gb/server-linux/en-gb/Img/cmt-help-settings.png)
3. In the Settings dialog, click Open Log Folder:
    
    ![A cursor hovers over the blue button labelled “Open Log Folder”.](/tableau/current/en-gb/server-linux/en-gb/Img/cmt-logfile-folder.png)
    
    A window opens with the log files.

If you are working with Tableau Support and they ask you to send log files, zip the files up before you send them. For more information on sending log files to Tableau, see the [Tableau Knowledge Base](https://kb.tableau.com/articles/howto/alternative-method-for-sending-large-files?lang=en-gb).

## Who can do this

Typically, the tasks listed above can only be done by a user with Administrator access on the machine.
