How to Check Logs in Plesk
Plesk provides access to important server and website logs — including access logs, error logs, and mail logs — directly from the dashboard.
Step 1: Log in to Plesk
Go to:
https://your-server-ip:8443
Log in with your admin or domain credentials.
Step 2: Go to Websites & Domains
From the left-hand menu, select Websites & Domains.
Choose the domain whose logs you want to view.
Step 3: Click “Logs”
Under the domain’s toolset, click the Logs option.
This will open the real-time logging console for the selected domain.
Step 4: View Log Types
At the top of the Logs page, you can choose which logs to view:
-
Access log: shows all requests to your site (useful for traffic and bot tracking)
-
Error log: shows warnings, PHP errors, and failed requests
-
Apache & NGINX logs: for server-level events
-
Mail log: (if available) to view sent or failed email records
You can also filter by log level (info, warning, error) or download logs for offline analysis.
Step 5: Use Live View or Manual Refresh
-
Use Live View (default) to see logs in real time
-
Or click Reload to refresh the logs manually
Optional: Download or Clear Logs
-
Click Download (disk icon) to save a copy
-
Click Clear to empty the visible logs (not recommended unless needed)
