The ac_web.log file records information about the user's connections to the Unica Campaign system database.

When a user logs into Unica Campaign, information is logged in the ac_web.log file. The location of the log file depends on whether you have a clustered or single-node listener configuration:

For a single-listener configuration: <Campaign_home>/partitions/partition [n]/logs/ac_web.log on the listener server

For a clustered configuration: <campaignSharedHome>/partitions/partition [n]/logs/ac_web.log
