Monitor Logs

OpManager Nexus AppLogs uses the server agent to collect logs.  AppLogs is enabled by default in all the user accounts. To start collecting and managing critical log data, create a Log Profile and associate it with a Log Type. In addition, AppLogs also supports cloud logs such as Azure and AWS and sending logs via an API endpoint. Learn more about log management with OpManager Nexus.
