Help with "Log Analysis: Web Log Analysis"

Hello,

in lab "Log Analysis: Web Log Analysis", I got stuck at the question
"How many errors were logged in total?"
First, it is not clear if it is referring to the access.log's or the error.log's.
Yet, I counted all lines in the access.log's where the status code is not 200 and the answer is wrong.
I counted all "error" in the error.log's, yet incorrect.
What am I doing wrong here?

    👋 giuseppe_axia - I agree with you that this question wasn't particularly clear which logs was being referred to! This question is asking you to see how many log entiries have been added to all of the error log files, so I've updated the question to make this a little clearer. Hopefully with this change, you can answer the question 😁

      Thanks Nye,
      that helps.
      I counted all lines with the word "error" in the error.log's, yet incorrect.

    Hi Kieran,
    that's weird; is it possible it was withdrawn, yet visible in my assignments?

    Hi giuseppe_axia 

    I think you may be referring to Web Log Analysis - Ep.4 Error Logs? It rings a bell as I completed this last week.

    If the question you're referring to is "How many times was negotiation:error captured in the error logs?", your second thought process is the right one to follow. Simply count the "errors".

    If it's any consolation, I found the lab challenging and a test for the eyes as I'm not used to reading logs.

    Good luck!

    KieranRowley  From the screenshot that giuseppe_axia has shared it seems the exercise is under assigned activity "IR - Incident Handler". 

    Exercise "Web Log Analysis - Ep.4 Error Logs" falls under "Cyber Million: Log Analysis" activity. I have also completed that lab recently but it doesn't seem to be the lab which giuseppe_axia is talking about.

      Thanks for checking pradkum.

      For anyone who is reading this, the lab in question was recently archived and replaced with the 6 Web Log Analysis labs that I shared below.

      However, if you were assigned the lab prior to this, then you can still access it.

    Yes I was having issues too. So I skipped this one for now.
