Changing the logging level

The level property controls the types of messages that are written to a log file. Any messages that do not match the level setting are discarded.

The CPM services use a common logging utility. Each service generates a log file. There is a level property for each service.

To change the logging level for a service:

Open the Set Properties page.
Go to the appropriate level line. There is a logging level line for each service.

From the Value column, select the desired logging level. These are the options:


Option	Description
ALL	This option logs all message types. It includes all the other options. This option provides the same level of detail as the DEBUG option.
DEBUG	This option logs all message types. It includes all the other options. This option provides the same level of detail as the ALL option.
INFO	This option logs all errors and messages AND general information about the application. It includes the WARN, ERROR, and FATAL options.
WARN	This option logs warning messages. It includes the ERROR and FATAL options.
ERROR	This option logs all errors. It includes the FATAL option.
FATAL	This option logs only fatal errors.
OFF	This option turns logging off.

If you change the logging level for the Consolidation Logging, Elimination Logging, or Ownership Logging categories, you must recycle the InforWebApps application pools. On the web server computer, open Server Manager and go to Roles > Web Server (IIS) > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Under Application Pools, right-click the InforWebApps applications and select Recycle.
