Avahi logs to the LOG_DAEMON syslog facility like very sane daemon
should.

Depending on your distro and config this might end up in
/var/log/messages (Fedora) or /var/log/daemon.log (I think
Debian/Ubuntu).

Logging is enabled by default. No need to reconfigure anything. If
avahi is run from the command line and -D is not passed it will log to
STDERR. If -D is passed it will log to syslog as mentioned above. If
you add -s to the command line log output will be directed to syslog
even if -D is not passed.

Aha.

Next time, please RTFM because this is well documented. Thank you.
