Basic logging settings

To change the basic logging settings for your site, select System > Administration > System Information and scroll down to the Logging section.

The Log Level field specifies the severity level of the events that will be logged. You can specify one of eight values. The log levels are listed in order, from highest to lowest:

  1. Debug
  2. Success
  3. Info
  4. Warning
  5. UserWarning
  6. Error
  7. UserError
  8. Fault

Each log level also logs events at all lower levels. For example, Debug is the highest log level, so all events are logged. Fault is the lowest level, so only faults are logged.

The Log Destination field specifies where the logs are created. You can select one of these options:

  • None: No logging will occur.
  • Database: Logs are written to the SYSTEMLOG table in the database. You can use Lookup System Logs to look up database logs.

    See Looking up logs.

  • TextFile: Logs are written to text files on the server. You can review the logs in the File Explorer.
  • All: Logs are written to both text files and the database.
