 ## Logging
+{: #loglevel}
 
-Available for monado-service:
+Various components and drivers in Monado use a logging system with well known logging levels `trace`, `debug`, `info` `warn`, `error`.
 
-A logging system with well known logging levels `trace`, `debug`, `info` `warn`, `error` levels is being implemented in Monado and can be used with some drivers:
+At this time the log level can only be changed for components individually by using environment variables.
+The default log level is `warn`.
+Environment variables that make use of the log level system typically end with `_LOG`. Examples:
 
 * `VIVE_LOG=debug`
+* `XRT_COMPOSITOR_LOG=debug`
 
-Some drivers still use a simpler system that only differentiates between "DEBUG" messages and verbose "SPEW" messages.
