Viewing logs

Learn how to view logs for your Azure-based Db2 deployment.

Monitoring logs is essential for maintaining the health, security, and performance of your cloud-based infrastructure. Logs provide real-time visibility into system behavior, application performance, and user activity. By analyzing logs, you can:

  • Detect and troubleshoot issues before they impact users
  • Identify security threats and unauthorized access attempts
  • Ensure compliance with operational and regulatory standards
  • Optimize performance by understanding usage patterns and resource consumption

Proactive log monitoring enables faster incident response, supports root cause analysis, and helps maintain a resilient and secure environment.
