# Logging
openpilot records routes in one minute chunks called segments. A route starts on the rising edge of ignition and ends on the falling edge.
Check out our [Python library](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/openpilot/tools/lib/logreader.py) for reading openpilot logs. Also checkout our [tools](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/tree/master/openpilot/tools) to replay and view your data. These are the same tools we use to debug and develop openpilot.
For each segment, openpilot records the following log types:
## rlog.zst
rlogs contain all the messages passed amongst openpilot's processes. See [openpilot/cereal/services.py](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/openpilot/cereal/services.py) for a list of all the logged services. They're a zstd archive of the serialized [Capn Proto](https://capnproto.org/) messages.
## camera video files
Each camera stream is H.265 encoded and written to its respective file.
* `fcamera.hevc` is the narrow road camera (the main forward camera)
* `ecamera.hevc` is the wide road camera
* `dcamera.hevc` is the cabin camera
## qlog.zst & qcamera.ts
qlogs are a decimated subset of the rlogs. Check out [openpilot/cereal/services.py](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/openpilot/cereal/services.py) for the decimation.
qcameras are H.264 encoded, lower res versions of the fcamera.hevc. The video shown in [comma connect](https://connect.comma.ai/) is from the qcameras.
qlogs and qcameras are designed to be small enough to upload instantly on slow internet, yet useful enough for most analysis and debugging.
