Using the WebLogic Remote Console

The WebLogic Remote Console is a web browser-based, graphical user interface that you use to manage a WebLogic Server domain. It provides the starting point for essential operations, administration, automation, and management.

The WebLogic Remote Console relies on REST APIs to provide flexibility, enabling it to connect to domains in varied environments: on physical or virtual machines, in containers or Kubernetes pods, in the cloud. Additionally, you can use the WebLogic Remote Console to manage WebLogic Deploy Tooling (WDT) metadata models - meaning you can build domain templates and then manage them within the same environment.

The WebLogic Remote Console is compatible with WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3.0 or later and adjusts its user interface to match the features available to the relevant WebLogic Server release. For detailed information about installing and using the Remote Console, see the Get to Know the Console in the Oracle WebLogic Remote Console Online Help.
