About Log Files

Server log files record your server’s activity. You can use these logs to monitor your server and to help you when troubleshooting. The error log file, located in proxy-server_name/logs/errors in the server root directory, lists all the errors the server has encountered. The access log, located in proxy-server_name/logs/access in the server root directory, records information about requests to the server and the responses from the server. You can configure the information recorded in the Proxy Server access log file. You use the log analyzer to generate server statistics. You can back up server error and access log files by archiving them.


Note –

Due to limitations in the operating system, Proxy Server cannot work with log files larger than 2GB on Linux. As soon as the maximum file size is reached, logging will cease.
