+# Logs tab
+
+The Logs tab is using the [`systemd` journal plugin](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md), to present a structured view into your infrastructure's `systemd` logs.
+
+We have a thorough section explaining how you can [work with logs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/category-overview-pages/logs.md), detailing how the plugin works, and what other utilities are used under the hood to provide you with the visualizations and the log entries.
+
+The [`systemd` journal plugin](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md) documentation has information about:
+
+- [Key features the plugin provides](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md#key-features)
+- [Journal sources](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md#journal-sources)
+- [Journal fields](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md#journal-fields)
+- [Full-text search](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md#full-text-search)
+- [Query performance](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md#query-performance)
+- [Performance at scale](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin/README.md#performance-at-scale)
+
+We recommend you to read through that document, to better understand how the plugin and the visualizations work.
