Hi,

I am facing an issue where I am not getting any logs from the custom plugin installed on the dev box.  
I am using atlas-debug to run the Jira instance and then installing the plugin manually. No plugin installation logs are printed. Even errors are not printed. I have tried enabling my package by going into logging and profiling screen. Cleaned and restarted instance multiple times. Still no clue what can be done.

\<jira.version\>8.5.4\</jira.version\>  
ATLAS Version: 8.0.16

Any assistance or direction is appreciated.

Thanks  
Saurabh

_posting a reply to this old thread so anyone running across this in the future has some breadcrumbs to follow_

I think what you were running into is a change which was made in Jira 8 where logs don’t show up in stdout like they did in Jira 7. See this thread, this [comment in particular](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/quick-reload-can-not-work-with-jira-version-8-0-2/28205/4). I’m still trying to figure out the minimum `log4j.properties` that you need to get the Jira 7 behavior, but until then you can `tail -f $JIRA_HOME_DIR/log/atlassian-jira.log`.

I figured it out after couple of weeks.
