Common log file location in your User ``$WAKATIME_HOME`` directory::
~/.wakatime.log ~/.wakatime.log
Set ``debug=true`` in ``~/.wakatime.cfg`` for more verbose logging, but don't forget to set it back to ``debug=false`` afterwards or your editor might be laggy while waiting for WakaTime CLI to finish executing. Each plugin also has it's own log file:

Check that heartbeats are received by the WakaTime api with the ``last_heartbeat`` and ``last_plugin`` attributes from the `current user <https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current>`_ api resource. Useful API Endpoints::
You can also see a list of all your plugins and when they were last seen by the api with the `user_agents <https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current/user_agents>`_ api endpoint.
Note: Saving a file forces a heartbeat to be sent. * `List of Plugins and when they were last heard from <https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current/user_agents>`_
