🌐This guide is also available in Arabic[← اقرأ بالعربية](https://kb.tarweig.com/docs/%d9%83%d9%8a%d9%81%d9%8a%d8%a9-%d8%aa%d9%86%d8%b2%d9%8a%d9%84-%d8%b3%d8%ac%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%88%d8%b5%d9%88%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%ae%d8%a7%d9%85-raw-access-logs-%d9%84%d9%85%d9%88/)

Sometimes the AWStats aren’t enough and you need to download your Website Access Logs for a deeper examination. Not to worry, cPanel makes this really easy!

**Step 1:** Log in to your cPanel. There’s a lot of ways to do this, but the sure-fire easiest way is to log in to your [Client Area](https://clients.tarweig.com/), then open your cPanel.

Step 3: When the Raw Access panel has opened, click the domain for which you want to download raw access logs.

  Pro Tip:

If you use a SSL Certificate on your website, be sure to download the SSL version of your logs.

After clicking the domain link, your access logs will be downloaded in a tar.gz format.

You can use a program like [7Zip](https://www.7-zip.org/) or a command-line utility to unpackage these files and import them into the application of your choice for further examination.
