Cloudmersive Private Cloud Log Files

Overview

Cloudmersive Private Cloud natively supports access logs, where you can monitor incoming traffic, successes and failures, and response time, and other key details of transactions processed on your Cloudmersive Private Cloud server node.

Log File Location

To access your logs, navigate to the following folder:

C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\

You will find multiple .txt files in this folder. You can sort by timestamp to see the latest or earliest available log files.

• Username (cs-username) - typically unused
• Client IP Address (c-ip) - the IP address of the client
• User Agent (cs(User-Agent)) - the user-agent making the API call
