Logging for Load Balancers
Manage access and error logs for load balancers using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
The Load Balancer service uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging service to manage logging. See Logging Overview for general information on logging, including how to name log files and create log groups.
See Details for Load Balancer Logs for information on how to understand load balancer log entries.
No other policies are required to enable logging. You need to have permission to configure the load balancer.
Logging is an option in the Load Balancer service. Standard limits, restrictions, and rates apply when enabling the logging features. See Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging for more information.
You can perform the following log management tasks:
Listing Load Balancer Logs
List the access or error logs for a load balancer.
For prerequisite information, see Logging for Load Balancers.
Using the Console
- On the Load balancers list page, select the load balancer that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the load balancer, see Listing Load Balancers.
- On the load balancer's details page, select Logs.
Filtering List Results
Use filters to limit the logs in the list. Perform one of the following actions depending on the options that you see:
- From the Search and Filter box above the list table, select one or more filters and specify the values that you want to use to narrow the list. In general, the filters correspond to the columns shown in the list table, although some filters represent attributes that aren't shown in the table. The Compartment filter is always displayed next to Applied filters.
- On the left side of the list page, select a value from one of the available filters, such as compartment, state, or tags.
Change the order of the items in the list table by using the sort icons next to the column names.
Actions
In the list table, select the name of a log to open its details page, where you can view its status and perform other tasks.
To perform an action on a log directly from the list table, select any of the following options from the Actions menu 
in the row for that log:
- View details: Open the details page for the log.
- Disable/Enable log: Enable a disabled log, or disable a log that's enabled.
- Delete: Remove the log from the load balancer.
