# Monitor Events

## Local Logs

After installation, you may want to trigger some traffic to one of your web services which are now protected by open-appsec. You can then run this command to view logs:

```bash
open-appsec-ctl --view-logs
```

{% hint style="info" %}
By default logs are stored here:\
`/var/log/nano-agent/CP-nano-http-transaction-handler.log<number>`

You can configure flexible logging according to your requirements by using a custom log-trigger. \
See here for configuring the log trigger when using declarative configuration file:\
[local-policy-file-advanced](https://docs.openappsec.io/getting-started/start-with-linux/local-policy-file-advanced "mention")&#x20;

See here for more details on the different available options: \
[setup-log-triggers](https://docs.openappsec.io/setup-instructions/setup-log-triggers "mention")
{% endhint %}

## Central Monitoring

If you connect open-appsec to the WebUI (SaaS) for central management you do Monitoring/Logging flexible from there as well.
