What is LogGuardian?
LogGuardian is an extension developed for the Plesk control panel that allows you to view and analyze the access and error logs of websites hosted on the server. Its goal is to help administrators detect suspicious behavior, brute-force attempts, or frequent errors — all from an interface fully integrated into Plesk.

How to Use LogGuardian
Once the extension is installed, you can access it directly from the Plesk panel. The system displays a table with the most recent IPs that have accessed websites on the server, showing:
- The source IP address.
- The access date and time.
- The type of request (
GET,POST, etc.). - The HTTP response code (
200,404,500, etc.). - The number of repeated requests per IP.
Development
LogGuardian was born from the search for a solution to an overlooked need — tracking unauthorized access to files.
