Yes, you need to look at the logs for either Guacamole Client (Tomcat) or
Guacamole Server (guacd). I suspect the guacd logs will be more useful to
you in this case, but it probably makes sense to know where both of them
are and take a look at both of them:
* The Guacamole Client logs are located wherever your Tomcat instance logs
data, which will depend on how and where you've installed it. If you're
using a Docker/container-based instance, just look at the container logs
for the "guacamole" container. If you're using a package on a distribution
those logs may get written to your systemd-journal or syslog facility, or
they may be in a file. If you've downloaded Tomcat and installed it
manually, they'll be in the catalina.out file in your logs/ directory in
the Tomcat install directory.
* The Guacamole Server (guacd) logs get written to the syslog and/or
systemd-journal facility, so you just need to find that output.

Once you locate those logs, you can watch them while you try the connection
and see if there are any errors. If you're not seeing any errors, then you
may want to try bumping up the log level of either the client or server.
Instructions for that can be found, here:
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#logging-within-the-web-application

You can also take a look at our FAQ and Troubleshooting section of the
manual:
