Log files are an important tool for monitoring and analyzing the activities on your websites. All page views from your domains are logged on your IONOS webspace and stored in log files. To evaluate this data individually, you can download the log files with the raw data to your computer, and analyze them with a program of your choice.
To download the log files to your computer:
Connect to your webspace using an FTP program. You can find more information on this in the article Transferring files securely with FTP.
Navigate to the logs directory. It is located at the top directory level of your web space.
The log files are named according to the pattern access.log.XX.gz. Search for the files you want to download to your computer and transfer them to your computer using the FTP program.
Notes
- For Windows web hosting plans, you will find the packed files in the logs directory in folders with the same name as your domains.
- If the log files are from the previous day or older, they are automatically packed in .gz format. To unpack the files, you need a program on Windows that can unpack GZIP archives. The programs WinZip or WinRar are suitable for this purpose. Please note the license conditions of the respective manufacturer.
