# How to get logs You can deploy Akto on multiple platforms like AWS, k8s etc. Please follow the below guide to find logs on your respective platform. ## AWS using Auto scaling group 1. If you've deployed Akto on `AWS` using an auto scaling group, log in to AWS console and go to `EC2 dashboard`.

2. If you have to get `dashboard` logs, then go to `Auto scaling group` and find the `AktoDashboardAutoScalingGroup` auto scaling group. For `runtime` logs, go to `Auto scaling group` and find the `AktoAutoScalingGroup` auto scaling group.

3. Find the associated EC2 instance in `Instance management` tab and SSH inside that instance. To SSH inside the instance, you can refer to [this AWS guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-linux-inst-ssh.html).

4. Login as the root user using `sudo su -` and run `docker ps` to find the running containers. For `dashboard` logs, look for `akto-api-security-dashboard` container. For `runtime` logs, check for the container with `runtime` word it.

5. You can find the logs for any container using the following command `docker logs --tail 10000` . Since there can be many logs, we are using `--tail 10000` , you can increase this number for older logs or add `-f` flag for running logs.

## Using helm charts in kubernetes 1. Connect to your kubernetes cluster 2. Check your deployments for an `akto` deployment using `kubectl get deployments -n `. Make sure the namespace is correct.

3. You can get the pods associated with this deployment using `kubectl get pods -n staging`.

4. Pick the pod you'd like to view the logs for and run the following command `kubectl logs -n --tail 10`. Since there can be a good number of logs, using tail is recommended. You can also use `-f` flag for running logs.

## Local deploy using docker 1. If you've deployed locally using docker, run a `docker ps` to check the running containers.

2. Run `docker logs --tail 100` . Since there can be many logs, we are using `--tail 100` , you can increase this number for older logs or add `-f` flag for running logs.
