## SQL Logging of Entity Framework Core

Logging configuration is commonly provided by the `Logging` section of *appsettings*.`{Environment}`*.json* files. To log SQL statements, add `"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command": "Information"` to the *appsettings.Development.json* file:

[!code-json[](~/includes/sql-log/appsettings.json?highlight=10)]

With the preceding JSON, SQL statements are displayed on the command line and in the Visual Studio output window.

For more information, see <xref:fundamentals/logging/index#configure-logging> and this [GitHub issue](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/32977).
