# Configure the Access Log for HTTPS Requests

To effectively manage a web server, you need to get feedback about the activity, performance and problems that may occur. In the log server you can view HTTP/HTTPS requests, such as URLs, IP addresses, playbook searches, automation searches, etc.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

The format is Apache’s Combined Log Format. For more information, see <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html>.
{% endhint %}

1. Select Settings → ABOUT → Troubleshooting → **Add Server Configuration**.
2. To enable the logs, add the following key and value:

   | Key                           | Value      |
   | ----------------------------- | ---------- |
   | **`http.access.log.enabled`** | **`true`** |

   All the HTTP requests to the server are logged in the **`access_log`** file.
3. (Optional) You can configure the log file through the following configurations:

   | Key                                     | Description                                                                      |
   | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | **`http.access.log.enabled`**           | Enables or disables the log. Default is **`false`**.                             |
   | **`log.accesslog.filename`**            | The filename of the log. Default is **`access_log`**.                            |
   | **`log.accesslog.rolling.maxfilesize`** | The maximum number of megabytes when a new file is created. Default is **`10`**. |
   | **`log.accesslog.rolling.backups`**     | The number of backups. Default is **`3`**.                                       |
   | **`log.accesslog.rolling.maxage`**      | The number of days to preserve the log file. Default is **`0`**.                 |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/logs/configure-the-access-log-for-https-requests.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
