Problem scenario
You have a website that is not working. You tried using Fiddler on the front-end. You want to examine the logs on the backend to find the problem. What should you do?
Possible Solution #1
Use a case insensitive grep for "error" or "violation". Search also for patterns such as "40" and "50" in separate searches.
To get help finding the logs, you could try Splunk or click on the link below corresponding to the web server technology you use (note that Nginx has two links):
Apache
IIS
Nginx:
Nginx.com
Loginradius.com (for Nginx)
WebSphere
Possible Solution #2 (workaround)
If the website when presented in a web browser (from the frontend) is all white, go here.
If the website when presented in a web browser (from the frontend) is all white and uses PHP, go here.
If the website is powered by GitLab, see this page.
Side note: If you want to configure Nginx to log in a JSON format, see this posting.
