Troubleshoot using the OCI GoldenGate deployment console

You can use log files in the OCI GoldenGate deployment console to gain more insight on issues you may encounter.

Note: This information applies only to Data replication deployments.

Depending on the type of issue, you can start in one of two places:

• Deployment Health issues: For health issues not caused by user action, such as stopping a critical Extract. Start troubleshooting using logs generated by the OCI GoldenGate deployment console when you create a manual backup of the deployment. You can download the backup locally, and then view logs from the backup.

• Performance issues: You can drill down to additional details using the Diagnosis tab, Debug log, Critical Events logs, or the Performance Metrics Server to see GoldenGate metrics in real time.
