This chapter includes the following sections:

For more information, see Log Management.

18.1 Configure the Server Logging Service

Using the Oracle Stream Analytics Visualizer, you can configure the logging system of a selected Oracle Stream Analytics server. By default, this logging configuration applies to all components.

To configure component-specific logging options, see Configure a Component Logger.

Configure the Server Logging Service

  1. In the left pane, click the Domain > Server node, where Domain refers to the name of your Oracle Stream Analytics domain and Server refers to the name of the server instance.
  2. In the right pane, click the Logging tab.
  3. Click the Logging Services tab.

    The Logging Services tab appears as Figure 18-1 shows.
