+You can configure logging options as well via `logger`
+
+```js
+server.start({
+  logger: {
+    level: 'ALL',
+    appenders: [
+     { type: 'console' }
+   ]
+  },
+});
+```
+
+We use the (https://github.com/nomiddlename/log4js-node/wiki/Connect-Logger)[log4js] connect logger. Learn more about the available options from their project.  Be sure to set `options.logger.level` to enable the logger.
