Android Studio: Where are Manifest Merger Logs?

I am very new to Android Studio, and trying to import a fairly old project from Eclipse into Android Studio. I am getting the dreaded error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed with multiple errors, see logs

I have tried a number of the highly rated solutions already with no luck. But my actual question is: Where are these damned log files?!

I can't troubleshoot more deeply or ask a more detailed question until I find and inspect the log files, which Android Studio seems to have hidden completely out of view.

You should see files like

For **debug** look at app/build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-debug-report.txt

For **release** look at app/build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt

While this is not quite the answer to your question: In Android Studio, load the app's AndroidManifest.xml file, then click on "Merged Manifest" at the bottom. Studio will show a split view, which on the right includes recommendations for how to fix the problems. The fixes are clickable (like so much in Android Studio... except the hard-to-find things). When I encountered this problem a few minutes ago, clicking on them automatically applied them, and all the problems magically went away.

See this Android Developer page for this and more information.
