HTTPS Request logs provide detailed information about every HTTP request made to your Pangolin resources. These logs capture both successful and denied requests along with comprehensive request metadata.

​
What are HTTPS Request Logs?

HTTPS Request logs capture every HTTPS request that passes through a reverse proxy, including the request details, the decision made (allow or deny), and the reason for that decision. These logs are useful for:
  • Monitoring traffic patterns and request volumes
  • Debugging access issues and rule configurations
  • Analyzing API usage and endpoint popularity
  • Understanding geographic distribution of requests
  • Identifying potential security threats or unusual traffic patterns
  • Troubleshooting connectivity and routing issues

Log Retention

HTTPS Request log retention is controlled by the organization setting. By default, HTTPS request logs are retained for 7 days.
HTTPS Request logs can generate significant data volume depending on your traffic. Consider your storage capacity when configuring retention periods.

Exporting

Logs can be exported into CSV format for external analysis and archival. Logs can be exported from the table view in the Pangolin dashboard or via the Pangolin API. When exporting, you can specify date ranges and filters to narrow down the logs you need.
