# Velo: Viewing Live Site Events

<div style="background: #D9F4F4; border: 1px solid #B3E9E8; border-radius: 6px; padding: 7px 17px 7px 17px; width: max-content; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;">Visit the <a style="text-decoration: color: #3197EF;" href="fallback::https://www.wix.com/velo" target="_blank">Velo by Wix website</a> to onboard and continue learning.</div>

Velo's [site logs](resourceId::9c314e4f-6336-483f-b6dd-39895521e56e*fallback::https://github.com/wix-private/developer-docs/blob/b0f6d8236a0258d9ee3e849c4b62c8adf08e6821/velo-articles/Developer%20Tools/About%20Logs%20formerly%20Site%20Monitoring.md) (formerly Site Monitoring) feature includes the option to view site events in real-time. Tracking logs and errors as they are reported lets you gain immediate insight into site events.

### How It Works

Velo site logging records each site event as a log entry. A [log entry](fallback::https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/spis/site-monitoring/logentry) is a JSON object representing a site event. 

In the Site Events window, you can view basic log entry information for each event. You can also access the JSON object that represents each log entry. Site events are streamed to your Site Events window as they occur.

#### To view live site events:

1. Enable code:
    + Wix Studio: If necessary, click ![Code icon](https://github.com/wix-incubator/wix-code-docs/assets/50321691/2c41d3df-930f-4e0f-966f-038742adceed) and then **Start Coding**. 
    + Wix Editor: Turn on [Velo Dev Mode](resourceId::f91d5d8e-9c8c-4f9b-b0be-2ee626096172*fallback::https://github.com/wix-private/developer-docs/blob/b0f6d8236a0258d9ee3e849c4b62c8adf08e6821/velo-articles/Wix%20Members%20with%20Velo/Enabling%20Custom%20Site%20Registration.md) for your site.
    
2.  Select **Developer Tools** in the dashboard. 
3.  Under the Logs section, select **View site events**.

    </div>

1.  To generate a site event, preview or publish your site and [trigger an event](resourceId::ca068039-8174-4333-81bf-595c56e97a77*fallback::https://github.com/wix-private/developer-docs/blob/b0f6d8236a0258d9ee3e849c4b62c8adf08e6821/velo-articles/Developer%20Tools/Generating%20a%20Log%20Event%20to%20Debug%20Your%20Site.md). For example, if you have a console log that runs when a button is clicked, click the button. You should see the site event in your window.

You can also access Site Events from Preview mode in the Wix Editor. When in Preview mode, click **Live Site Logs** in the Developer Console.
