Acunetix On-Premises

To troubleshoot the scanning done on a specific target, you need to first enable debug logging for the target. This is done through the Advanced section of each target's settings. Once enabled, the Acunetix scanner will log the progress of the scan and any problems encountered during the scan. It is also possible to enable logging for all targets by editing the settings file.

The debug logs are stored in:

• Windows: C:\ProgramData\Acunetix\shared\scans
• Linux: /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/scans/

For detailed instructions, refer to Enabling logging for scans.
