## Understanding Managed Product Logs

Managed product logs contain information about the performance of your managed products. You can obtain information for specific products or groups of products administered by the parent or child server. With Control Manager’s data query on logs and data filtering capabilities, administrators can focus on the information they need.

Managed products generate different kinds of logs depending on their function.
