The Log Manager allows you to obtain raw server logs about your site activity and traffic. You can view and/or delete, print, download, and date your log files. You may disable logging altogether to conserve your disk space.
Your server logs can also be downloaded for use with other statistics packages.
You can use the Web Stats function to analyze and view your log files in an easy-to-read, graphical display. While Log Manager allows you to manage your log files and view them in their raw state, Web Stats makes them human readable.
Viewing your server logs
To view your log file:
- Select the view log icon located next to each log. The selected server logs for your domain will be displayed in a message window.
- Click the "Close" button to close this window.
Downloading your server logs
To download one or more log files to your local machine:
- Select the download logs icon besides each log. A "Save" dialog box will be displayed.
- Fill out the required options on the dialog box.
- Click the "Save" button.
Note: If you select more than one log, the selected logs will be compressed in Zip format before being downloaded.
Deleting your log files
To delete your log file:
- Select the delete logs icon next to each log(s.
- click on the "Apply" button to finalize the process.
Note: Once deleted, the log cannot be recovered.
Disabling your log files
If you want to disable your log file:
- Select the "Disable activity logs" option from the "General" tab.
- Click the "Apply" button. If logging has been disabled, select "Enable logging" if you want to resume logging.
Note: Your server logs can become large and count against your domain's disk quota. Disabling your logs will save disk space.
Rotating and dating log files
If you would like to have your server logs stored according to a specific date, use the Rotate Activity Logs function. This function creates a text file from the activity log, and resets the log. The name of this text file is a combination of the date it is created and words "access log" appended in front of it separated by an underscore.
Example: The activity logs rotated on January 5, 2010 will be saved in a file named: access_log_Jan5_2010
If you rotate your activity log more than once a day, the log's information will be appended to the present day's dated text file.
To rotate your activity log, click the "Rotate Activity Logs" button.
