# Logs

The **Logs** section provides access to the **instance console logs**, which contain system boot and runtime messages.

These logs help users diagnose instance startup issues, operating system errors, and system-level events.

Console logs are especially useful for troubleshooting when remote access (SSH or RDP) is unavailable.

### Access Console Logs

To view instance logs:

1. Log in to the **NeevCloud Dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **CLOUD→ Servers**.
3. Select the required **Cloud Instance**.
4. Click **Logs** from the left-side menu.

The system will display the **Instance Console Logs**.

If your instance becomes inaccessible via SSH or RDP, the **Logs** section can help identify boot or configuration issues directly from the console output.
