 The logging settings and options can be specified in the Airflow Configuration file,
 which as usual needs to be available to all the Airflow process: Web server, Scheduler, and Workers.
 
+Default Airflow loggers
+-----------------------
+
+Airflow uses Python's standard logging framework, and most loggers follow the
+Python package and module naming convention. A few logger names are useful to
+know when reading logs or customizing logging behavior:
+
+* ``root``: the root Python logger. During task execution, Airflow configures
+  the root logger so standard Python loggers that propagate to it can write to
+  the task log.
+* ``airflow.task``: the parent logger for task logs. Operators and hooks use
+  child loggers under this namespace, such as ``airflow.task.operators`` and
+  ``airflow.task.hooks``.
+* ``airflow.processor``: used by Dag file processing code, including messages
+  emitted while parsing Dag files.
+* ``airflow.processor_manager``: used by the scheduler's Dag processor manager
+  to report Dag processing activity.
+* ``flask_appbuilder``: used by Flask-AppBuilder in the webserver. Airflow's
+  default logging configuration keeps this logger less verbose than Airflow's
+  own component loggers.
+
+Task logs are configured separately from other component logs because they must
+be grouped by task instance and made available in the Airflow UI. For task log
+file layout and remote task logging settings, see
+:doc:`/administration-and-deployment/logging-monitoring/logging-tasks`.
+
+For custom handlers, custom logger levels, or per-operator and per-task logger
+configuration, see
+:doc:`/administration-and-deployment/logging-monitoring/advanced-logging-configuration`.
+
 You can customize the logging settings for each of the Airflow components by specifying the logging settings
 in the Airflow Configuration file, or for advanced configuration by using
 :doc:`advanced features </administration-and-deployment/logging-monitoring/advanced-logging-configuration>`.
