/opt/openliberty/wlp

Server configuration files path

Configuration files for the WebEngine server, such as server.xml, jvm.options, server.env, are stored in the following directory:

/opt/openliberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/

Log folder

Log files for tracing and informational purposes are stored in the following directory: 

/opt/openliberty/wlp/usr/servers/defaultServer/logs/

Customization
