12.2 About the logs

The Logging page lists a variety of logs, each outputting event messages from a different part of the Identity Manager user application. Each log has its own independent output level.

The log names are based on log4j conventions. You’ll see these log names in the event messages that are generated, indicating the context of the message output.
