# Diagnostic tools (logs, audit views, FormStore, Cockpit)

## Diagnostic logs

[Diagnostic logs](https://docs.eximee.com/documentation/documentation-en/zarzadzanie-aplikacja-biznesowa/testowanie-i-debugowanie-aplikacji/audyt-aplikacji-biznesowej/logi-diagnostyczne).

## Audit views

### Linux terminal

On the server, logs are usually located in the directories **/var/log/eximee** and **/var/log/eximee\_sensitive**.

Most often we refer to the file **eximee\_platform.log**, which initially provides the most information.

It is worth knowing a few basic commands:

* **cd** – change directory,
* **cat**, **less** and **more** – for viewing logs,
* and **grep** – for searching for specific entries. E.g.: grep "ERROR" /var/log/eximee/eximee\_platform.log, This command will search for all lines with errors in the log file.

### Kibana

**Kibana** is a tool that can be used to browse and analyze logs and test data that have been previously collected and saved in the system (e.g. in Elasticsearch).

It enables:

* viewing system operation logs in an organized, readable form,
* filtering data according to various criteria (e.g. operation ID, date, status, or error type),
* quickly searching for specific events and analyzing their course step by step,
* identifying errors and checking when and under what conditions they occurred,
* creating simple visualizations (e.g. charts) that help notice recurring problems or patterns.
