Access Logs

The live connection log, showing who reached which destination right now.

Last updated Aug 14, 2026View as Markdown

Overview

Access Logs is real-time traffic monitoring: a streaming table of individual connections showing the subscription, the source IP, the destination domain and whether the connection was allowed or rejected. Use it while something is happening, such as debugging a routing rule, confirming a new inbound is being used, checking why a destination is being blocked. For questions about the past, use Access History instead, which searches persisted hourly summaries.

Before you start

  • Access logging must be enabled for the server; the node selector says so explicitly when it is not.
  • How long raw entries survive is governed by retention_access_log_days under Settings → Data Retention.

Steps

  1. Open Server → Access Logs from the sidebar.
  2. Filter down to what you care about: type into the Subscription box, pick a Status and a Network, or search across domain, IP and port.
  3. Choose how many rows to pull at once, either 200, 500 or 1000.
  4. Set an auto-refresh interval to watch the stream live, or leave it off and refresh by hand.
  5. Sort by any column header, whether Time, Node, Status, Subscription, Source IP or Domain.
  6. Clear filters resets the view when a narrow filter leaves you with nothing.

Reference

Column What it shows

Row limit 200, 500, 1000
Auto-refresh Off, 5s, 10s, 30s

Troubleshooting

The node selector says no nodes have access logs enabled. Nothing will appear here until access logging is turned on for the server, on the Server Settings tab.
