# Access logs

Access logs are generated for port 80 (default port) and 443 (default port) traffic. Each Balancer process has a corresponding Access log file (that is. two port 80 Balancer processes and two port 443 Balancer processes require four log files). The log file name format is `<protocol><port>_pid<process-ID>access<date>.log`.

The following are examples for port 80 and port 443:

* `http_ws_80_pid_19017_access_2018-01-22_13-10.log`

* `https_wss_443_pid_19018_access_2018-01-22_13-10.log`

Access logs are rotated every 10 minutes and archived. The archived log file format has `.gz` at the end of the log file name, for example `http_ws_80_pid_19017_access_2018-01-22_13-10.log.gz`.

ASE sends all archived log files to API Behavioral Security (ABS) to detect attacks using machine learning algorithms. The files are then moved to the `logs/abs_uploaded` directory.

The following snippet shows an example log file:

```
