Hi ,

I am new to ORTHANC DICOM server and recently configured it to use the server on windows . I just wanted to check if Orthanc dicom server logs when it is being accessed from outside / tries to upload the dicom files and do other activities . Where does it logs all the access to the server ?

Any help will be appreciated .

Hello,

Orthanc does not log all the Web accesses as such.

For having full auditing log, please install nginx/Apache on the top of Orthanc:
