Those are domain level logs

For server log, a link to a new log file needs to be created via a cron job:
```
n -f /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/www/vhosts/example.com/logs/server_nginx_access_log && chmod 644 /var/www/vhosts/example.com/logs/server_nginx_access_log
```
and then, imported to Plesk log view.
