MWP - Website Management Ops - How to access and read error logs

From the main page of your Managed Wordpress, click on the “Manage Website  Icon”

Once that button is clicked, you will be redirected to the Manage Website area:

The Logs tab allows you to review logs generated by your website, which can be useful for troubleshooting and diagnosing issues. Because logs can collect a large amount of data in a short time, the system automatically discards them after processing. 

Currently, only Access Logs are available for download.

To view a log, click the download icon next to the desired entry. To remove a log, click the trash can icon.

Also, the next tab, which is called “Security” can be useful in the case the “Logs” one is needed 

Security Tab

The Security tab can also be helpful when investigating issues that may require reviewing logs. It provides a comprehensive overview of all detected vulnerabilities.

If any vulnerability requires user action, a red dot appears on the tab.

The overview section displays:

• The number of active vulnerabilities
• The number of vulnerabilities mitigated
• The number of attacks blocked this year
• If no attacks have been blocked this year, the total number of mitigations is shown instead
