Find legal internet access logs backups manually
How to manually download legal log files by browsing the Artica server disk
Back to legal logs main section
By default, Artica stores the backups of the legal logs on its disk.
If you have activated the NAS storage option, the legal logs are exported to your network shares anyway.
- On the left menu, choose “Events center” > "Legal Logs"

- Find the value of “Backup Folder” by default is “
/home/logrotate_backup” - Ensure you have the OpenSSH service enabled
- Open the WinSCP tool and create a connection to the Artica box
- Click on the bookmark icon and paste the “Backup Folder” value in first field.
- Click on OK
- Open the remote folder named “proxy”

- Artica proposes the following directory structure :
/proxy/[Year]/[Month]/[Day]of the backup date. - Search the file with the name of the proxy and 2 dates.
- The first date is the date first request in the log file and the second date is last request find in the log file.

In our example: the log file start requests 2021/12/27 00:00:02 and the last request was on 2021/12/08 00:00:02
