I’m using rest api to check the status of streaming files.

**url** : http://[ip]:[port]/v2/servers/_defaultSe2rver_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/[appName]/instances/_definst_/incomingstreams/[streamName]/monitoring/current

When sending a request to the above url, a timeout error sometimes occurs. Despite the load on the server.

So when I send a request through rest api, I need a log that I can see in wowza.

- wowzastreamingengine\_access.log
- wowzastreamingengine\_error.log  
The above two logs didn’t help much. Is there another log I can check? Or can I check it through settings?

please answer about my question.

We have several logging options for you that I will share @hanul an. Here is also a doc that explains a lot of the common error messages you may see in Engine.
