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 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:

  1. Open the Set Properties page.
  2. Go to the appropriate level line. There is a logging level line for each service.
  3. From the Value column, select the desired logging level. Choose from:
    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 as well as general information about the application. It includes the WARN and ERROR options.
    WARN This option logs warning messages. It includes the ERROR option.
    ERROR This option logs all errors.
    OFF This option turns logging off.
