\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>By default, the Log Browser displays messages present in the monitored logs at the moment of opening.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>If you want to refresh the list with messages added after opening the Log Browser, click Refresh<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Alternatively, if you want to have new messages continuously added to the list, click\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Start real-time updates<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image-76824.png\"<\/span><\/p>\n

To select the logs from which you want to view messages, click the \"image-74882.png\"icon, and select the desired logs from the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manage Log Files\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>To view all the messages in a log, go to Websites and Domains<\/strong> > Logs<\/strong> > click the\u00a0<\/span>\"image-74886.png\"icon > Manage log files<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>The list of all tracked log files will be displayed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"image-76825.png\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Here you can click a log file name to view the file content directly in the Log Browser.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can click the \"image-74884.png\"icon next to a log file to open it for viewing in a separate window, or the \"image-74885.png\"icon to download it.<\/span><\/p>\n

To save disk space, you can enable log rotation that is automatic compressing and\/or deleting outdated website log files. To set up log rotation, go to Websites and Domains<\/strong> > Logs<\/strong> > Manage log files<\/strong> > Log Rotation<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can delete log files that have been rotated (log files that have not yet been rotated cannot be removed).<\/span><\/p>\n

Add a Custom Log File\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You can add any custom log file from you web site directory to track its changes in the Log Browser.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To do this, click the Add Custom Log<\/strong> button on the Manage Log Files<\/strong> page. The tree with your web site folders will be displayed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Select the file that you want to add to the Log Browser and click OK<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Only plain text files can be selected. In order to be properly displayed, your custom log file should have timestamps for each log entry, otherwise it will not be\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

parsed correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image-76826.png\"<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, the selected log file will be displayed in the list of managed log files.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image-76827.png\"<\/span><\/p>\n

If you no longer want to monitor this custom log file, click the \"image-75821.png\"icon next to it. <\/span><\/p>\n

This does not remove the file from your file system, but simply removes the file from the list of files available in the Log Browser.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also open a text file in the Log Browser directly from the File Manager, using the Open in Log Browser<\/strong> option.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"image-76828.png\"<\/span><\/p>\n

When you open a log file from the File Manager in the Log Browser, it is not yet added to the list of logs viewed in the Log Browser on a permanent basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To add the file to the Log Browser, click the Add to Log Browser as Custom file<\/strong> button.<\/span><\/p>\n
