Configure the JVM logs

Use the administrative console to configure the JVM logs for an application server.

To log events or information from a running JVM, we can use the administrative console to configure the settings we need for each server. Configuration changes for the JVM logs that are made to a running application server are not applied until the application server is restarted.

IBM recommends using the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure . We view HPEL log and trace information using the logViewer .
