Accessing Server Logs with Kinsta API

Hello everyone :sunglasses:,

I’m currently building a tool that requires in-depth analysis of server logs. I’m specifically interested in error logs, access logs, and cache performance data. While I’ve explored the Kinsta API documentation, I’m struggling to pinpoint the exact methods for retrieving these log types.

I’m seeking guidance on:

  • Error Logs: How can I programmatically fetch detailed error logs to efficiently troubleshoot issues? Are there specific API endpoints or parameters recommended for this purpose? :thinking:
  • Access Logs: To monitor traffic patterns and user behavior, I need to access access logs. What’s the most effective way to pull this data using the Kinsta API? :thinking:
  • Cache Performance Logs: Optimizing site speed requires a deep understanding of cache performance. Can the Kinsta API provide cache performance metrics or logs? :thinking:

I have been diving into resources/article: retrieve server logs (Error, Access, and Cache Performance) with kinsta api mulesoft api integration . It helped me get started, but I still find myself struggling with these aspects.

Any code examples, best practices, or additional resources would be incredibly helpful. Additionally, if there are any limitations or caveats to consider when using these API endpoints, please share your insights.

Thank you :pray:for your time and expertise!

Hi @juniperwells ! :wave: Welcome to the Kinsta Community.

We do have an API endpoint for retrieving site logs from MyKinsta (the /logs endpoint): API Reference - Site Logs - Kinsta®

That endpoint includes site access, error, and cache logging :slightly_smiling_face:

In terms of best practices, we only really have one limitation that needs to be worked around in this regard, which would be the rate limits for the API itself: API Reference - Rate Limits - Kinsta®

Hopefully this helps!
