Oracle BI Server query logging is tracked at a user level. It is a resource-intensive process if you track the entire user community. For production systems, it is recommended that query logging be enabled only for a very targeted user community. In production systems, you can use Usage tracking as the production-level logging facility
NqQuery.log file shows Physical SQL Query, logical execution plan where Usage tracking does not have this information.
You can define the amount of information written by setting the loglevel.
You can query this log file online. See WebLogic - Diagnostics Framework (WLDF)
