+System Log
+************
+
+.. doxygengroup:: system_log
+   :project: Zephyr
+   :content-only:
+
+The system log API provides a common interface to process messages issued by
+developers. These messages are currently printed on the terminal but the API is
+defined in a generic way.
+
+This API can be deactivated through the Kconfig options, see
+:ref:`global_kconfig`.
+This aproach prevents impacting image size and execution time when the system
+log is not needed.
+
+Each of the four ``SYS_LOG_X`` macros correspond to a different logging level,
+The logging macros activate when their logging level or higher is set.
+
+There are two configuration categories: configurations per module and global
+configurations. When logging is enabled globally, it works for modules. However,
+modules can disable logging locally. Every module can specify its own logging
+level. The module must define the :c:macro:`SYS_LOG_LEVEL` macro before
+including the :file:`<misc/sys_log.h>` header file to do so. Unless a global
+override is set, the module logging level will be honored. The global override
+can only increase the logging level. It cannot be used to lower module logging
+levels that were previously set higher.
+
+You can set a local domain to differentiate messages. When no domain is set,
+then the ``[general]`` domain appears before the message. Define the
+:c:macro:`SYS_LOG_DOMAIN` macro before including the :file:`misc/sys_log.h`
+header file to set the domain.
+
+When several macros are active, the printed messages can be differentiated in
+two ways: by a tag printed before the message or by ANSI colors. See the
+:option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_SHOW_TAGS` and :option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_SHOW_COLOR`
+Kconfig options for more information.
+
+Define the :c:macro:`SYS_LOG_NO_NEWLINE` macro before including the
+:file:`misc/sys_log.h` header file to prevent macros appending a new line at the
+end of the logging message.
+
+.. _global_kconfig:
+
+Global Kconfig Options
+**********************
+
+These options can be found in the following path :file:`misc/Kconfig`.
+
+:option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG`: Global switch, turns on/off all system logging.
+
+:option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL`: Default level, sets the logging level
+used by modules that are not setting their own logging level.
+
+:option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_SHOW_TAGS`: Globally sets whether level tags will be
+shown on log or not.
+
+:option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_SHOW_COLOR`: Globally sets whether ANSI colors will be
+used by the system log.
+
+:option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_OVERRIDE_LEVEL`: It overrides module logging level when
+it is not set or set lower than the override value.
+
+Example
+*******
+
+The following macro:
+
+    .. code-block:: c
+
+     SYS_LOG_WRN("hi!");
+
+Will produce:
+
+    .. code-block:: console
+
+     [general] [WRN] main: Hi!
+
+For the above example to work at least one of the following settings must be
+true:
+
+- The :option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL` is set to 2 or above and module
+  configuration is not set.
+- The module configuration is set to 2 or above.
+- The :option:`CONFIG_SYS_LOG_OVERRIDE_LEVEL` is set to 2 or above.
