On the server, logs are usually located in the directories /var/log/eximee and /var/log/eximee_sensitive.
We most often 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 stored in the system (e.g. in Elasticsearch).
It enables:
viewing logs from system operation 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 spot recurring problems or patterns.
