Examining Log Files on an Instance

Use log files to identify what's occurring on an instance to help troubleshoot issues.

Linux Logs

OCI	The last 3 logs for the plugin are logged in `/var/log/oracle-cloud-agent/plugins/oci-wlms/wlms_plugin.log` All errors and exceptions are logged in `/var/log/oracle-cloud-agent/plugins/oci-wlms/wlms_plugin_errors.log`

Examining the wlms_plugin_errors.log file can be useful to filter for errors or exceptions.
