Reviewing the VirusTotal App logs

For a deeper analysis of issues related to the vt command or the overall behavior of the VirusTotal App, you can review the app-specific log file generated by Splunk.

The log file is located at:

$SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/virustotal_app.log

 

This file contains detailed error information, including:

  • VirusTotal API errors
  • Proxy connection errors
  • Timeout or network-related errors
  • Internal exceptions raised by the app

Analyzing this log can help identify the root cause of complex or intermittent issues that are not fully reflected in the vt_result field.
