To troubleshoot the scanning done on a specific target, you need to first enable debug logging for the Target. Once enabled, the Acunetix scanner will log the progress of the scan and any problems encountered during the scan.
The debug logs are stored in:
- Windows: C:\ProgramData\Acunetix\shared\scans
- Linux: /home/acunetix/.acunetix/data/scans/
The Events tab of the scan will indicate the name of the zip file containing the logging data for the scan.
