You can also generate logs by running MSBuild directly from the command line, using the -fileLogger ( -fl ) command-line option. See Obtain build logs with MSBuild.
The Microsoft Build Engine is a platform for building applications. This engine, which is also known as MSBuild, provides an XML schema for a project file that controls how the build platform processes and builds software. Visual Studio uses MSBuild, but MSBuild doesn't depend on Visual Studio.
A build log is an enhanced console output of a build. It is represented by a structured list of the events which took place during the build. Generally, it includes entries on TeamCity-performed actions and the output of the processes launched during the build.
Create a detailed log From the Visual Studio main menu, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions >Build and Run.
You can view the log in the Output view with Show output from: set on Build.
To configure the verbosity go to Tools > Options... > Projects and Solutions > Build and run
You could use the MSBuild FileLogger like that :
msbuild.exe /fileLogger
/fileloggerparameters:LogFile=[Path_to_log_file];Verbosity=[minimal/normal/detailed/diagnostic]
