Have you had an issue with a server or a service recently? Or maybe you’re having one right now? If so, the quickest way to identify the root cause can be analyzing the log files.

• Searching for errors and warnings in journald logs
• Filtering out for content of the Plesk panel.log file
• Investigating email-related issues.
