Where to find tempdb logs in SQL Server?

I'm currently using SQL Server 2014. In a stored procedure, I'm inserting data into a local temporary table (#TestTemporaryTable). I want to see the logs of data insertion into temp table, how can I fetch it from tempdb? And also, I want to know for how long these logs will exist?

    What kind of log are you looking for? In any case, tempdb is temporary. That means it's cleared every time the server restarts. Local temporary tables are discarded as soon as the connection that created them closes

    What do you mean by "logs"? tempdb is (by default) set to the Simple Recovery Model (and for good reason), which truncates the transaction log as soon as the transaction is commited/rolled back. You can't inspect the log files for data in the first place anyway (can you imagine the security concerns that would have?), but certainly the logs for tempdb will be lost as soon as the transaction completes.

    Logged where? If you have a custom logging tool, then you know what that is; we don't know.

You can examine the log records with the undocumented fn_dblog



eg



SELECT * FROM tempdb.sys.fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
