Oracle WebLogic Operations Control (WLOC) Administration Console

The Oracle® WebLogic Operations Control (WLOC) Administration Console is a browser-based, graphical user interface that you use to configure, manage, and monitor services in your operations environment. It is hosted by the Controller, which communicates with Agents to gather monitoring data and to invoke management actions.

The following table summarizes the tasks that you can perform using the WLOC Administration Console.

Task	Description
Configuration	Configure network communications for Controllers and Agents. Organize your Java applications into services. Create policies to enforce service level agreements (SLAs) for your services automatically. Configure the logging and auditing features. Create users and assign them to groups and roles.
Management	Deploy and activate services. Invoke actions to manually affect services. Adjudicate actions that are to be initiated as a result of SLA violations.
Monitoring	Monitor the performance of services. Monitor the use of computing resources on machines that host resource pools. View Controller log files and security auditing files.

Only authenticated users can access the WLOC Administration Console.

Note:

Except for security data, WLOC stores its configuration information in XML files. If you prefer, you can configure the WLOC components by editing the XML directly using a validating text editor instead of using the WLOC Administration Console. In this case, you will need to restart the Controller or Agent in order for the changes to take effect.

You cannot use the WLOC Administration Console to:

• Add servers to a WebLogic Server domain. You can use the WebLogic Server Administration Console or the WebLogic Scripting Tool to add servers to a domain.
• Modify the configuration of a VMware ESX Server. Use the VMware Virtual Center to modify the ESX Server configuration.
