### 17.3.2. Logging in OpenAM Policy Agents

By default, OpenAM Policy Agents log to local files in their configuration directories for debugging. The exact location depends on where you installed the agent.

By default OpenAM policy agents send log messages remotely to OpenAM when you log auditing information about URL access attempts. To configure audit logging for a centrally managed policy agent, login to the OpenAM console as administrator, and browse to Access Control > `Realm Name` > Agents > `Agent Type` > `Agent Name` > Global, and then scroll down to the Audit section.
