# `Logger.Backends.Console`
[🔗](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/7ff272706afc522e74121493b7166719985cb099/lib/logger/lib/logger/backends/console.ex#L5)

> This module is deprecated. Use LoggerBackends.Console from :logger_backends dependency.

A logger backend that logs messages by printing them to the console.

This backend was typically configured as `config :logger, :console`,
but it has been deprecated in favor of `:default_handler` and
`:default_formatter`. However, for backwards compatibility, you can
still add it as:

    config :logger, :backends, [Logger.Backends.Console]

However, if you plan to continue using Logger backends in the long
term, consider using the [`:logger_backends`](https://github.com/elixir-lang/logger_backends)
project.
