Traffic forensics

See every request that hits your WordPress site.

WP Tailwatch network logs record every visit, bot, and blocked attack, with IP, country, URL, and status, so you can investigate incidents in minutes instead of guessing.

In short

Network logs are a detailed record of every HTTP request reaching your WordPress site, capturing the visitor IP, country, requested URL, response status, and whether it was a human, bot, or blocked attack. WP Tailwatch keeps this forensic trail searchable so you can trace any incident.

What it does

A full record of who touched your site.Down to the IP, URL, and status.

Stop relying on raw server logs you can't read. WP Tailwatch turns request data into a clear, searchable timeline.

Every request, logged

URL, method, HTTP status, timestamp, and response time for each hit, captured automatically across all connected sites.

IP & geo intelligence

See the source IP and country behind each request, so you can spot floods of traffic from a single host or region instantly.

Filter & search fast

Narrow logs by IP, URL, status code, or bot type to reconstruct exactly what an attacker did, no grep, no SSH.

How it works

From raw traffic to a clear forensic trail.Capture, investigate, act.

Connect your site once and WP Tailwatch records every request, then hands you the filters to trace an incident and shut it down, no server access or command line needed.

1

Capture

Once your site is connected, WP Tailwatch records inbound requests automatically, no extra setup or server access required.

2

Investigate

Open the log in the app or cloud dashboard and filter by IP, URL, or status to follow an attacker step by step.

3

Act

Block the offending IP, patch the targeted endpoint, and rotate any exposed credentials, all from the same screen.

Why it matters

You can't fix what you can't see.Logs turn guesswork into a timeline.

When a site is compromised, the difference between a 20-minute cleanup and a multi-day nightmare is having a record of what happened. Network logs give you that record, the exact requests, the source, and the timeline.

Brute-force and automated attacks are relentless: Wordfence alone reported blocking billions of attack attempts against WordPress sites in a single year. Without logs, those attempts are invisible until something breaks.

FAQ

Network logs, answered.Answers to the questions we hear most.

Network logs record incoming requests to your WordPress site, the URL requested, HTTP status, timestamp, visitor IP and country, and whether the request was a human, a known bot, or a blocked attack. That gives you a full forensic trail of who touched your site and when.

After an incident you can filter the logs by IP, URL, or status code to reconstruct exactly how an attacker probed your site, which files they hit, and when. That timeline tells you what to clean, what to patch, and which credentials to rotate.

Yes. Network logs roll up across every connected site into one searchable view in the mobile app and cloud dashboard, so you can investigate one site or spot a pattern hitting your whole portfolio.
