Where are all those Log Files? (6.0+)

As of Release 6.0.0, Metric Insights becomes a dockerized application. All logs from Docker containers are stored in one directory /opt/mi/log. 

All logs are redirected to the rsyslog service that will store them in files. Alternatively, Splunk logging service can be used.
