The WebLogic Remote Console is a lightweight, open source console that you can use to manage domain configurations of WebLogic Server Administration Servers or WebLogic Deploy Tooling (WDT) metadata models.
The advantage of the WebLogic Remote Console is that it does not need to be colocated with the WebLogic Server domain. You can install and run the WebLogic Remote Console from one computer and connect to a domain running anywhere: a physical or virtual machine, in a container, Kubernetes, or in the Oracle Cloud. The WebLogic Remote Console connects to your domain using WebLogic REST APIs.
As for the WDT metadata models, they are descriptions of a WebLogic Server domain configuration, generally written in YAML but occasionally JSON. These models are not connected to a live domain and you edit them ‘offline’ before using the WebLogic Deploy Tooling (WDT) to build or modify live domains from the models. See the WebLogic Deploy Tooling documentation for more information.
Simply launch WebLogic Remote Console and connect to an Administration Server or WDT model.
The WebLogic Remote Console is fully supported with WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3, 12.2.1.4, and 14.1.1.0.
The 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 or model using the WebLogic Remote Console, you can:
For detailed information on the fields and procedures of the WebLogic Remote Console, you can often reference the online help of the WebLogic Administration Console: 12.2.1.3, 12.2.1.4, or 14.1.1.0.
However, although the WebLogic Remote Console and the WebLogic Administration Console are similar, there are differences between them. See Differences for details on how they differ.
It’s simple to install the WebLogic Remote Console and get up and running within moments. See Install WebLogic Remote Console for instructions.
The current release of the WebLogic Remote Console is 2.4.8. This release was published in March 2024.
