Anyone know a free software to view apache server logs? I am currently using notepad++ to view the logs but it is cumbersome to visualize and filter timestamps.
How about grep? Pipe it with cat and you can get the log based on your timestamp. I often use sudo cat access.log | grep "<timestamp>" when looking up events. For advanced filtering, have a handy dump of regex expressions that you can use with grep. Grep regex documentation should help you.
I assume this is a shared hosting platform? If you have a cPanel/WHM dashboard, you can visualize logs in Webalizer.
Try GUI log viewers like Apache chainsaw or AWStats.
Yes matt I am using shared hosting. 😅 Should have mentioned that! Thank you for the suggestions Karthikeyan. Apache chainsaw is good.
Thanks, but I don’t have a shell access to the server. I only have FTP access.
