Both types of logs can be checked from your WPX control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-type-of-entries-stored-in-your-site-s-logs\">What types of entries are stored in your site&#8217;s logs? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access entries in the Access Log<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the access log to view the traffic and the types of requests made to your website. You can monitor where the traffic is coming from by IP addresses, and for example, target specific countries in your next campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ModSecurity entries in the Error Log<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Various error logs indicate different blocks that are implemented to your website from external bad reputation requests or malicious bots. They can be ignored since they are strictly being logged for protection and to track the activity of these malicious requests\/bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PHP Warning entries in the Error Log<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Warnings that are being sent from your websites regarding errors that have happened, but are fixed or are connected to the functionality of third-party plugins\/themes. They can be ignored since they do not affect your website in any way and are not fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-do-we-keep-the-logs\">How long do we keep the logs? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at WPX, we store both Access and Error logs for up to 30 days from the date of request. The Error and Access Logs you see in your WPX Control Panel are the most recent ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to preview logs that date back further in time, for example, two weeks ago, you can contact our support so that they can provide them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s move on to checking the logs from the WPX control panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-login-to-your-wpx-account\">Step 1.
