If the destination is set as 1, all client script log messages are directed to the console. If an administrator requires these logs along with server logs, set destination level to 2. At this level, all logs are collected in a JS object on client side and if form is rendered with default Profile then a Send Logs button appears to the left of Highlight Existing Fields button in toolbar. When user clicks the link, all collected logs are posted to the server and are logged in the configured error log file on the server.
By default, all the information is added to the error.log file at the /crx-repository/logs/ directory.
