All Services Log: (Administration / Distribution / Receiver / Performance Metrics / Deployment Service)

All service logs for Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (OGG MA) are located within the Deployment Home directory. If you are managing multiple deployments within OGG MA, it is essential to check the log files within the corresponding Deployment Home for each specific deployment. This ensures that you are reviewing the appropriate logs for troubleshooting and monitoring the right deployment instance.
