Accessing Log Files

     
   Accessing Log Files
 

 

All connections to the web server and requests for files that were not found on the server are registered in log files. These log files are analyzed by the statistics programs running on the server, which then present graphical reports on demand. You may want to download these log files to your computer for processing by third-party statistics programs, or view their contents for web server debugging purposes.

To prevent these log files from growing too large, you should enable automatic cleanup and recycling of log files:

  1. If you are subscribed to several hosting packages and have access to several webspaces associated with your account, in the Subscription menu at the top of the screen, select the required webspace.
  2. Go to the Websites & Domains tab > Logs (in the Advanced Operations group) > Log Rotation.
  3. Click Switch On. If you see only the Switch Off button there, this means that log recycling is already switched on.
  4. Specify when to recycle log files and how many copies of each log file to store on the server. Also specify whether they should be compressed and sent to an e-mail address after processing.
  5. Click OK.

To view the contents of a log file or download it to your computer:

  1. If you are subscribed to several hosting packages and have access to several webspaces associated with your account, in the Subscription menu at the top of the screen, select the required webspace.
  2. Go to the Websites & Domains tab > Logs (in the Advanced Operations group). A list of log files opens.
  3. Do any of the following:
    • To view all entries in a log file, click the log file name. If you want to view only a few last lines from the log file, type the number of lines into the input box under the Settings group, and then click the log file name.
    • To download a file to your computer, click the corresponding icon download.
    • To remove a processed log file from the server, select the corresponding checkbox and click Remove. Confirm removal and click OK.

 

To download log files to your computer via FTP:

  1. Connect to the Panel server via FTP and log in using access credentials of the subscription logs of which you want to download.
  2. Go to the /statistics/logs directory and copy the log files to you computer.
