6.3 Change the Log Levels for Identity Manager Packages

The logs contain information about processing and interactions among identity applications components that occur while fulfilling users and administrative requests and during general system processing. By enabling the correct log levels for various packages, an administrator can monitor how identity applications process users and administrative requests.

You can change the log level of the packages individually by searching a package name. If you want to change the log level for all the packages:

  1. Select Change log level for the listed packages.

  2. Select the log level from the list.
