By default Houdini prints messages to this floating Houdini Console:

However its content doesn't persist forever. When you print more lines, the oldest lines just disappear.
How could I output the console content to a file so I can have a proper log?
(on Windows)

One option is to use stream redirection from stdout to the file.
houdini -foreground >> output.log
Or errors from stderr to file.
houdini -foreground 1>>output.log 2>&1
edit: here's also a way to just set an environment variable HOUDINI_ERRORLOG_FILENAME and the minimum error level HOUDINI_ERRORLOG_LEVEL.
