Using WebLogic Logging Services

# Viewing the WebLogic Server Logs

The WebLogic Server Administration Console provides separate but similar log viewers for the local server log and the domain-wide message log. The log viewer can search for messages based on fields within the message. For example, it can find and display messages based on the severity, time of occurrence, user ID, subsystem, or the short description. It can also display messages as they are logged, or search for past log messages. (See Figure 3-1.)

In addition to viewing messages from the Administration Console, you can specify which messages are sent to standard out. By default, only messages of `WARNING` or higher are sent to standard out.

For information about viewing, configuring, and searching message logs, refer to the following topics:
