How to Find and Share Server Logs

Learn how to access, read, and share your Minecraft server logs for troubleshooting.

Server logs record everything that happens on your server — player activity, errors, plugin messages, and more. They're essential for troubleshooting.

Viewing Live Logs

Access the XGamingServer panel and go to Console. This shows real-time server output.

Finding Log Files

Open your server files

Go to Files on the panel.

Navigate to logs

Open the /logs/ folder.

  • latest.log — Current session's log
  • *.log.gz — Compressed logs from previous sessions (named by date)

Sharing Logs for Support

Copy the log content

Open latest.log and copy the relevant sections (or the full file for complex issues).

Upload to mclo.gs

Go to mclo.gs, paste the log content, and click Save. This gives you a shareable link.

💡 Tip: mclo.gs automatically analyzes your log and highlights common errors — check the analysis tab.

Share the mclo.gs link in our Discord or with support.
