# Adding a Log Bucket

A log bucket is a logical group of log files. Ensure that a log bucket has been created before you view bucket logs.

#### Precautions

- A maximum of 500 log files can be added to each log bucket.
- A log bucket only stores the log files of the same cluster.

2. Under Application, click Application Operations Management.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Log Management > Log Buckets.
4. Click the Bucket List tab and then click Add Log Bucket. On the displayed page, enter a log bucket name and description, add a log file, and click OK, as shown in the following figure.
