Orbisius Log Viewer

Free WordPress plugin to view and download log files from your WordPress installation.

See what's eating your disk space. Discover hidden log files like debug.log, error_log, and other logs that silently grow and consume your storage.

FAQ

Why is it important to monitor log files?

Log files can grow silently until they fill your disk quota. Many hosting providers will block access to your site when you exceed your storage limit.

What log files does this plugin find?

It scans for debug.log, error_log, php_error.log, and any file with .log extension. It also detects rotated logs and compressed archives.

Will it slow down my site?

No. The plugin only runs when you visit its admin page. It doesn't add any code to your frontend or run any background processes.

Can I delete log files with this plugin?

This free version is for viewing and downloading only. If you need to delete logs, manage log rotation, or suppress errors, check out Orbisius Log Optimizer.

Does it work with multisite?

Yes, it works on WordPress multisite installations.

Where does it scan for logs?

It scans your entire WordPress directory including wp-content, plugins, themes, and uploads. It skips vendor and node_modules folders for performance.

Why is this plugin free? Is there a catch?

No catch. We offer this plugin as a lead magnet for Orbisius Log Optimizer, which has more features like deleting logs, log rotation, and error suppression. But this free plugin is fully functional with no limits.
