This blog post will show how a login proxy can be created with wso2esb. First click on the Add >Proxy services option, this will load a screen as similar to below. From this select Logging Proxy. Basically this proxy creation enables the creation of log outputs that prints on the console.

As shown in the image below fill the following fields as shown

Proxy service name: a unique value to identify the proxy.

Target URL : the target URL of the back end service.

Request Log Level : what level of logging details do we need to generate for request received (Full/Simple/None)
