# Extended xConnect logging

The extended xConnect logging feature provides the ability to get additional information about xConnect internal functioning, particularly during the debugging process.

It introduces the following improvements:

- [Extends the SQL level logging](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/configure-sql-level-logging.html "Configure SQL level logging")
- [Extends the logging of xConnect operations](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/configure-xconnect-operation-logging.html "Configure xConnect operation logging")
- [Logs queries sent to Solr, both from a search service and an indexer.](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/configure-solr-query-logging.html "Configure Solr query logging")
- [Logs HTTP requests received by xConnect](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/configure-http-request-logging.html "Configure HTTP request logging")
- [Detailed information about timeout errors.](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/timeout-error-details.html "Timeout error details")
- [Logs retries of the `SetFacetOperation` method to decrease the number of `Sitecore.XConnect.Operations.FacetOperationException` exceptions.](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/retryable-setfacetoperation-logging.html "Retryable SetFacetOperation logging")
- [Track requests from Sitecore to xConnect.](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/walkthrough--tracking-requests-from-sitecore-to-xconnect.html "Walkthrough: Tracking requests from Sitecore to xConnect")

> [!important]
> When you have enabled the extended xConnect logging feature, the size of log files can grow dramatically. It can affect the overall xConnect performance and slow it down. We recommend that you [configure the maximum size of log files](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/105/sitecore-experience-platform/configure-the-log-file-size.html "Configure the log file size") to avoid slow xConnect performance.
