Thanks

Wowza Transcoder leverages the existing Wowza Streaming Engine log files, **[install-dir]/logs.**

Running Wowza Streaming Engine in standalone mode enables you to view these messages real time from the console window. For a list of messages, scenarios that can cause these messages, and suggestions for resolution, see [How to troubleshoot error messages.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-troubleshoot-error-messages)

Logging messages in the **[install-dir]/logs/wowzastreamingengine\_access.log** file will indicate if Wowza Streaming Engine and Wowza Transcoder are configured properly. If so, the logs will show that the Transcoder libraries and templates have been loaded, the detected hardware information, and the transcoded streams being published.

Regards,

Salvadore
