# Set up Document Tracking with a Log Back End

This section describes how to set up document tracking to store information in a Knowledge Discovery log file.

To configure document tracking in logs

1. Open the component configuration file in a text editor.

2. (DIH only) Turn on document tracking by setting the `DocumentTracking` parameter to `True` in the `[Server]` section of the DIH configuration file.

       [Server]
       DocumentTracking=True

   NOTE: If you are using DIH in a unified configuration, set the `DocumentTracking` parameter to `True` in the `[DistributionSettings]` section.

3. Create a `[DocumentTracking]` configuration section.

4. In this `[DocumentTracking]` section, set the `Backend` parameter to `Log`.

5. Set any other configuration parameters for document tracking. For more information, refer to the Content component Reference. For example:

       [DocumentTracking]
       MaxEventsPerFile=500
       TimeoutSeconds=20
       UIDFieldName=UID

6. Find the `[Logging]` configuration section.

7. Configure a new log stream for document tracking, with LogTypeCSVs set to `doctrack`. For more information, see Customize Logging.

   For example:

       [Logging]
       LogLevel=FULL
       LogDirectory=Logs
       0=ApplicationLogStream
       1=ActionLogStream
       2=DocumentTrackingLogStream
       ...

       [DocumentTrackingLogStream]
       LogFile=doctrack.log
       LogHistorySize=50
       LogTime=True
       LogEcho=False
       LogMaxSizeKBs=1024
       LogTypeCSVs=doctrack

8. Save and close the configuration file.

   Restart the component for your changes to take effect.
