# Log Service & Vault Information Service



Logging is an essential part of any application, and the `LogService` interface provides methods to send messages to the *Debug Log* and *Runtime Log*, which are available in the Vault UI from **Admin > Logs > Developer Logs**.

When logging, you may need to retrieve basic configuration information about your Vault. The `VaultInformation` interface provides methods to retrieve the following information about the local Vault:

* **Name**: Returns the name of the Vault.

* **ID**: The ID of the Vault.

* **Language**: Returns the `admin_key__sys` value. For example, `en` for English.

* **Locale**: Returns the `admin_key__sys` value. For example, `en_GB` for United Kingdom.

* **Timezone**: Returns a value from the `timezone__sys` picklist. For example, `europe_london__sys`.

* **DNS**: Returns the DNS of the Vault.

The `VaultInformationService` interface provides methods to retrieve the `VaultInformation` for remote and local Vaults.

The following example creates a new instance of `VaultInformationService` and uses the `getLocalVautInformation()` method to retrieve the local Vault's information. Next, the example uses `LogService` to log the `dns`, `id`, `name`, `language`, `locale`, and `timezone` values in the *Debug Log*.

```
LogService logService = ServiceLocator.locate(LogService.class);
VaultInformationService vaultInformationService = ServiceLocator.locate(VaultInformationService.class);
VaultInformation vaultInformation = vaultInformationService.getLocalVaultInformation();
logService.debug("dns = {}", vaultInformation.getDNS());
logService.debug("id = {}", vaultInformation.getID());
logService.debug("name = {}", vaultInformation.getName());
logService.debug("language = {}", vaultInformation.getLanguageCode());
logService.debug("locale = {}", vaultInformation.getLocaleCode());
logService.debug("timezone = {}", vaultInformation.getTimezoneName());

```
