Reading Acccess Logs accurately?

What access logs, where? In whmcs or on the server or on cpanel?

 

the second part of the question is a tad rougher to understand.

 

 

In cpanel depending on what account your looking at will show the ip logs and etc of whoever (even robots) came to that site

 

On the server logs you can see the IP and other info from anyone who comes to to any ip thas on the server.

 

In WHMCS you can see the IP logs, time, and list of clients who login to your front end of WHMCS, though to see IP and traffic for people who are not logged in you need to go to the cPanel logs or your analytics of choice. Also you may view other logs to see what staff who have access to the back end have visited or are currently on.

Oh to clarify when I login my domain cpanel where my WHMCS lives, so i assume anything that shows up there is anyone who is trying to access the admin. When I see admin url attached to an IP I dont want to accidentally ban a client from loggin in their area.

Ya like if you go to "latest visitors" > yourdomain that log is everyone

 

If oyu see something like IP /admin/url size status blahblah then they are trying to access the admin area.

 

Well by "trying" I mean they requested that page.

 

A clients url would probably be /clients

 

Not even robots should be hitting your admin area, less you have /admin/ (or whatever directory you named it) is in robotstxt
