Create FTP credential accounts

In order to view your logs, you must create a FTP account so you can log in.

credentials

After creating a new FTP user, you’ll see your user name, and the FTP URLs. You will be using these FTP urls and credentials to view your logs.

azure_logs

Use the user name and password you just created to log into FTP client like Filezilla

filezilla_url

Once you log in, go to /LogFiles/Application and you’ll see all your logs with timestamps

filezilla_url2

You can copy the files onto your desktop and view it. However that is not efficient because you don’t want to do a copy every time a log is updated.

Web browser to view your logs

Hence, just put the FTP url into your browser, insert your credentials and update the browser whenever you make a change.
