Website vent viewer

Navigate to: Main Menu > Websites > Select a website > Click the Event viewer tab.

This section provides advanced debugging tools that allow you to see server-side error logs. This is critical when your application crashes or returns a generic "Internal Server Error" (500) without displaying the actual cause on the screen.

1. Show Windows Events

Click SHOW WINDOWS EVENTS to search the server's Windows Application Log.

Because you are in a shared hosting environment, you cannot see the entire server log. Instead, our system filters the log and displays only the events that match your website name or file path.

• Usage: Use this to find specific exception messages, stack traces, or warning signs that occurred in the past.
• Filter: Check Include only errors to hide informational messages and focus solely on critical failures.

2. Startup Diagnostics

Click RUN STARTUP DIAGNOSTICS to troubleshoot applications that fail immediately upon loading.

When to use this: This is designed specifically for .NET Core applications. Often, if a .NET Core app has a configuration error, it will crash instantly and show a blank "500 Error" page because it cannot start up long enough to display the error itself.

How it works: When you click RUN THE TEST, the system performs a precise sequence:

1. It recycles your Application Pool (restarting the app).
2. It attempts to open your website's home page to trigger the crash.
3. It immediately scans the Windows Event Log for any errors generated in those specific few seconds.
