RunCloud logs all important events happening on your server in a log file. There are three type of logs – here’s a breakdown of what each of them does.
Server Activity Logs
You can find server activity logs in the side menu when you open the RunCloud dashboard.
The screen displays a list of events and actions that have taken place on the server. The activity log contains a search bar that can be used to filter the log entries based on specific keywords. The log entries are listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent events appearing at the top.
Each log entry includes a timestamp that indicates the date and time when the event occurred. The log entries also include a severity level that indicates the level of importance or urgency of the event. Here, you can see events such as the creation/deletion of databases and web applications:
Web Application Activity Logs

To view the activity logs for a web application, open the application in the RunCloud dashboard and click on the “Activity Log” in the sidebar.

Web Server Log
Apache2 and Nginx logs are essential tools for managing and optimizing WordPress sites. They provide valuable insights into server performance, user behavior, and security threats. By analyzing these logs you can identify areas where your site can be improved, and take proactive steps to ensure that your site is secure and performing at its best.
You can access these logs in the RunCloud dashboard easily. Just open the web application and click on “Web Server Log” to view the last 500 lines of log files related to the web application – including the Nginx access log, the Nginx error log, the Apache access log, the Apache error log, the G-Firewall, and the ModSec Audit log.
The log viewer also includes some basic navigation options, such as the ability to reload the log content, maximize the viewer window, and switch between light and dark modes.
Each log entry contains the IP address of the visitor, timestamp, HTTP request method, HTTP response code, user agent, and referrer.
