Managed server logs

Question

When you fire up the NodeManager, and start up managed servers from the web
          console, where do the logs of the respective servers go? I couldn't seem to
          find anything telling in my domain directory when I looked.
          Thanx!

Will,
          You're going to actually see three different types of logs when you use the
          NM:
          1. The Node Manager log files which contain NM specific entries.
          2. The Managed Server log files which contain the managed server specific
          info such as you're used to seeing from stdout, stderr when you start the
          server from the command line. Also you'll find additional info such as the
          server's PID, and copy of the server's configuration called
          nodemanager.config
          3. Node Manger client logs which reside on the admin server and contain
          subdirectories for each managed server issued a NM command.
          You won't see these last two log file types or their subdirectories until
          you actually use the NM to start the managed servers. All of these logs
          however, are stored in a parent subdirectory called NodeManagerLogs. By
          default this directory is created in the directory where you called
          startNodeManager[.cmd .sh] from. So if I ran . startNodeManager.sh from
          mydomain then I would see
          $BEA_HOME/user_projects/domains/mydomain/NodeManagerLogs
          The easiest way I have found to deal with this is to ensure that
          $WL_HOME/server/bin is in your PATH and simply call . startNodeManager.sh
          from the directory you want the logs to be created in --of course with the
          appropriate arguments or values in nodemanger.properties--
          but remember the NM defaults to $WL_HOME/common/nodemanager so you may see
          the logs under their initially.
          //provide a follow up if any of that didn't make sense :)
