I performed Poky build fetching the latest master branch from git

git clone -b rocko git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git

Set up the Environment using the following command

source poky/oe-init-build-env

Then executed bitbake command

bitbake core-image-full-cmdline

Bitbake did generate root file system, kernel image .. I was looking at the log files of the bitbake in build/tmp/log/cooker/qemux86 folder

There are two files with the same content:

 - console-latest.log
 - 20171224045428.log

Why we have two logs of the same content

console-latest.log is a symlink that points to the latest real console file 20171224045428.log. It allows to keep previous console logs and have an easy single way to access the latest console log.

In Yocto, a lot of log files work this way, see manual log section.
