Caido

Viewing Logs ​

As Caido utilizes a client/server architecture, both frontend and backend logs are produced.

DANGER

As log files can contain sensitive information, only send them in private conversations with a verified member of the Caido team. If you are contacting us on Discord, we will open a private channel before asking for logs.

NOTE

Ensure to enable debug mode to assist with troubleshooting.

Backend Logs ​

  • Or, click on the Logs button in the desktop application user interface and click on the Record button to capture the backend logs for a certain interval of time.
The in-app log panel.
