Raw logs are text files generated by your website that record information about site visitors and what URLs they accessed. They’re in a standard format called a “Apache combined log format.” This format is designed to be read by log processors like web stats programs. Even if you’re using IIS instead of Apache, your logs will be in this format because the logs are from the load balancers themselves.
You can enable Raw logs to use the information to help optimize your code helping reduce strain on your site and improve response times. Raw logs can also be useful in some troubleshooting situations.
Note
Raw logs files can take up a lot of space. If you are not actively using them, we recommend disabling them to free up disk space.
In your website list, click on the domain where you’ll be changing your raw logging settings.
In Website Details, click the pencil icon next to Raw Logs.
Click the radio button to select Enabled (or Disabled if you’d like to turn off raw logging) and click Update Status to save your changes.
If you’ve enabled raw logging, logs will be collected at midnight, U.S. Central Time, every day. The logs will be stored in your domain’s log directory.
