+# Logging
+
+If we are using AMS on Rails app by default the `Rails.logger` will be used.
+
+On a non Rails enviroment by default the `ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging` will be
+used.
+
+If we need to customize the logger we can define this in an initializer:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveModel::Serializer.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
+```
