 ## Add a Location Tracker
 We use the [SenseCAP T1000-B](https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-B-p-5698.html) from seeedstudio because of the fair price and multiple location providers. However, you can use any LoRaWAN-enabled tracker that is compatible with TTN and supports the required payload fields.
 
+## Troubleshooting
+Run `journalctl -u locationhub.service -f` to see log output.

 ### Onboard SenseCAP T1000-B
 1. Download and install the App [SenseCraft](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.seeed.sensecapmate) 
 2. Skip the user account at startup with `Skip` in the upper right corner
