Which is a valid Log Category name in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging Service?

In OCI Logging Service, Log Categories classify logs based on their origin or purpose.

Custom Logs (D): This is a valid Log Category for logs generated by user applications or services not

natively integrated with OCI. Custom Logs are collected using agents, SDKs, or APIs and are user-

defined.

Why not A, B, or C?

VCN Logs (A): Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) flow logs exist, but “VCN Logs” isn’t a formal Log

Category; it’s a type of service log.

OCI Agent Logs (B): Agent logs are internal to Management Agents, not a user-facing Log Category.

System Logs (C): While system logs exist in some contexts, OCI Logging uses specific categories like

“Audit Logs” or “Service Logs,” not a generic “System Logs.”

“Custom Logs” is explicitly supported for user-generated log data.
