If you encounter problems with your {dataframe-transforms}, you can gather more
information from the following files and APIs:

* Lightweight audit messages are stored in `.data-frame-notifications-*`. Search
by your `transform_id`.
* The
{ref}/get-data-frame-transform-stats.html[get {dataframe-transform} statistics API] 
provides information about the transform status and failures.
* If the {dataframe-transform} exists as a task, you can use the
{ref}/tasks.html[task management API] to gather task information. For example:
`GET _tasks?actions=data_frame/transforms*&detailed`. Typically, the task exists
when the transform is in a started or failed state.
* The {es} logs from the node that was running the {dataframe-transform} might
also contain useful information. You can identify the node from the notification
messages. Alternatively, if the task still exists, you can get that information
from the get {dataframe-transform} statistics API. For more information, see
{ref}/logging.html[Logging configuration].
