The Logs page within the View section allows you to preview and download the W3C and System logs. The page is organized into two sections, as detailed below.
Download W3C Logs
W3C logging is enabled from the System > Logging section. A W3C log is an access log for Web servers in which text files are generated containing data about each access request, including the source Internet Protocol ( IP ) address, the HTTP version, the browser type, the referrer page, and the timestamp. W3C logs can become very large depending on the amount of data and the category of logging being recorded.
From the W3C section, you can select the log you need and then view or download it.
View Button
The View button allows you to view the chosen log within the text editor window, such as Notepad.
Download Button
This button allows you to download the log to your local storage for viewing later.
The Cog Icon
Clicking this icon takes you to the W3C Log Settings section located in System > Logging. We will discuss this in detail in the Logging section of the guide.
