# Server log connector and action
A server log connector writes an entry to the Kibana server log.

## Create connectors in Kibana

You can create connectors in **Stack Management > Connectors** or as needed when you're creating a rule. For example:
![Server log connector](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/kibana/pull/244843/reference/images/serverlog-connector.png)


### Connector configuration

Server log connectors do not have any configuration properties other than a name.

## Test connectors

You can test connectors as you're creating or editing the connector in Kibana. For example:
![Server log connector test](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/kibana/pull/244843/reference/images/serverlog-params-test.png)

Server log connector actions contain a message and a log level, which defaults to `info`. Valid log level values are `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, and `fatal`.
