# Using find_client_id.sh for Connection Logs

> Use the find_client_id.sh script to extract complete connection details from SafeSquid logs for troubleshooting and forensic analysis.

## Problem

Service interruptions and policy failures increase operational risk when root cause is unclear.

## Benefits

You can diagnose faster with repeatable checks, reduce downtime, and restore expected protection.

## Advantages

You get symptom-first guidance that supports incident response and produces evidence for audit and postmortem review.

## Call to action

Follow the checks in order, capture the observed output, and apply the fix that matches your failure pattern.

# Get complete connection log with find\_client\_id.sh

Native logs are written in real time by response; entries for one connection can be scattered. To analyze a single connection from start to finish (profiles, categories, headers, errors), use the client id to pull all log lines for that connection. find\_client\_id.sh extracts complete connection details for a given client id. Below: how to obtain the client id and run the script.

To use find\_client\_id.sh you are first required to get your connection's client id.

Client id can be extracted from the response headers section in browsers network tab.

(Note: we are assuming that you know how to open developer tools in a browser)
