WebLogic Remote Console

WebLogic Remote Console is a lightweight, open source console that you can use to manage your WebLogic Server domain running anywhere, such as on a physical or virtual machine, in a container, Kubernetes, or in the Oracle Cloud. WebLogic Remote Console does not need to be colocated with the WebLogic Server domain.

You can install and run WebLogic Remote Console anywhere, and connect to your domain using WebLogic REST APIs. You simply launch the desktop application and connect to the Administration Server of your domain. Or, for domains running WebLogic Server 14.1.2.0.0 and later, WebLogic Remote Console is also available as a web application hosted on the Administration Server of the domain.

WebLogic Remote Console is compatible with WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 and later.

Key Features of the WebLogic Remote Console

WebLogic Remote Console provides an alternative WebLogic Server administration GUI that enables REST-based access to WebLogic management information, in alignment with current cloud-native trends. When connected to a WebLogic domain, you can:

  • Configure WebLogic Server instances and clusters
  • Create or modify WDT metadata models
  • Configure WebLogic Server services, such as database connectivity (JDBC), and messaging (JMS)
  • Deploy and undeploy applications
  • Start and stop servers and applications
  • Monitor server and application performance

Although WebLogic Remote Console strives to provide functionality that's comparable to the Administration Console, it does not strive to be an exact duplicate. Equivalent features may be implemented in new ways or not at all.

Get Started

You can install WebLogic Remote Console as a desktop or as a web application, depending on your requirements, although the desktop application is recommended. The desktop application is available to download from https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-remote-console/releases. The web application is included in the WebLogic Server installation (14.1.2.0.0 or later only) and must be deployed to the domain.

Read documentation for WebLogic Remote Console at https://oracle.github.io/weblogic-remote-console/.

To begin, see Get Started in the WebLogic Remote Console documentation.

If you're running WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.0 or earlier, you should also download and install the WebLogic Remote Console extension for your WebLogic Server domain. The extension provides additional functionality that is not available with the console alone. Although installing the extension is optional, we recommend that you install it to get the optimum functionality from WebLogic Remote Console. The extension is pre-installed on domains running WebLogic Server 14.1.2.0.0 or later.
