Changing the logging level for consolidation

The LogMessageLevel property is specific to the consolidation control. It controls the types of messages that are generated and passed to the common logging utility. Once the messages are passed to the logging utility, the messages are controlled by the level property in the Consolidation Logging category.

The LogMessageLevel property can be used to limit the work performed by the consolidation service in generating logging output. This is important because the volume and detail available for logging can impact performance. Best practice is to set the level property to DEBUG and then use this property to control the logging content.

To change the logging level:

  1. Open the Set Properties page.
  2. Go to the LogMessageLevel line for the Consolidation Control category.
  3. In the Value column, specify the desired message type.
    Option Description
    33025 Server-level logging. Minimal output, including statistics and informational messages. This is similar to the INFO logging level.
    33539 Client-level logging. Includes all server-level output as well as processing detail messages that allow for tracking the progress of a consolidation. This is similar to the INFO logging level.
    35595 Debug-level logging. Includes server-level and client-level output plus detailed debugging messages for support purposes.
After changing the LogMessageLevel property, 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.
