+# OpenTelemetry LogRecord Exporter - Standard output
+
+**Status**: [Experimental](../../document-status.md)
+
+"Standard output" LogRecord Exporter is a [LogRecord
+Exporter](../sdk.md#logrecordexporter) which outputs the logs to
+stdout/console.
+
+[OpenTelemetry SDK](../../overview.md#sdk) authors MAY choose the best idiomatic
+name for their language. For example, ConsoleExporter, StdoutExporter,
+StreamExporter, etc.
+
+If a language provides a mechanism to automatically configure a
+[LogRecordProcessor](../sdk.md#logrecordprocessor) to pair with the associated
+exporter (e.g., using the [`OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER` environment
+variable](../../configuration/sdk-environment-variables.md#exporter-selection)), by
+default the standard output exporter SHOULD be paired with a [simple
+processor](../sdk.md#simple-processor).
