WebServer Log

Logs and Usage is a monitoring interface that helps you understand how users interact with Cloudera Data Visualization in your organization. It provides access to raw log files that you can download in their original format, packaged as a ZIP archive for easier troubleshooting and sharing. The interface includes multiple tabs that present detailed information about user activities, system load, and runtime performance.

The WebServer Log tab of the interface provides access to the log messages generated by the Cloudera Data Visualization application. You can use the technical details as a resource for debugging Cloudera Data Visualization issues or download the log files and share them with Cloudera Support.

You can access the WebServer Log view from Site Administration > Logs and Usage > WebServer Log.
