The specified control panel, similar to its counterparts operating on a server, logs the latest actions: website visits (requests made by a bot, user, or search spider), occurrence of errors during operation, etc. A log file is used to mark the event. It records the time of occurrence, IP address, and description. For example, after uploading the website to the server, when a user visits, they see the error 403 Forbidden.

- Go to Hestia.
- Enter the WEB section.
- Hover the cursor over the site where you need to check the logs.
- Click the button with the magnifying glass icon.
- After the corresponding page appears, you need to go to the access log, which tracks requests, or to the error log to view and analyze errors that occurred during the website visit. The latest entries in the logs are always located at the bottom.
The format of the error log entry looks like this:
- date of occurrence;
- server code;
- pid of the process on the server;
- IP address of the visitor;
