This article explains how to check access logs in Plesk. They store information about all the requests coming to your website. Users will be shown data on every IP address that has opened your website, what resources they have requested, and at what time.
Below are the steps for checking the access log in Plesk:
- Log in to the Plesk control panel.
- Go to “Websites & Domains” on the left-hand side.
- Select the Domain from the list available.
- Locate the Logs icon and click on it.
- Users will now see the raw access log, offering detailed information on any traffic to their website.
- Access logs can aid in classifying malicious requests, DDoS attacks, or broken links in the website content.
- For instance, the example above illustrates numerous 404-error requests to various pages on the website.
In this manner, you can check the access log in Plesk to troubleshoot website problems by viewing important error messages and warnings in the Plesk Dashboard. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to our support team.
