Title: Logging level settings issue?
Post by: Zagor on December 09, 2005, 12:48:10 PM
Hello everyone,
I’m just wondering about logging settings in Program settings department.
(http://)

On this page, you can set what types of events will be stored in the logs – I don’t get it?
What does it mean “set what will be stored”. I don’t understand the scale on the right, how it determines what will be logged? For example, if you set it to Error, than will it store, all events above the pointer on the scale or under, or...?

Yes, your guess is right. It will store all events above certain level.
The default is Notice.

O.K. Tech, thanks

Maybe they could add that info to help file in next update, because explanation is not so obvious.

You can choose what information will be stored in the log file for later use (helpful if trying to track a fault).

It works from the top down, so everything from Emergengy to Notice information will be logged. If you include Info and Debug, the size and information contained in the log files is much greater.
