If you are using IIS, you can enable and view stdout logs:

1. Edit the web.config file.
2. Set stdoutLogEnabled to true.
3. Change the stdoutLogFile path to point to the logs folder (for example, .\logs\stdout).
4. Save the file.
5. Make a request to the app.
6. Navigate to the logs folder. Find and open the most recent stdout log.
