The Log Settings section of the Log Viewer helps you set the severity level for the messages that are displayed in the log. The following levels are available (in order of the least to most severe):
- Trace: Displays very detailed messages typically only used in development.
- Debug: Displays debugging information.
- Info: Displays informational messages, commonly enabled in production for auditing purposes.
- Warn: Warning messages, not critical issues that are temporary or can be recovered from.
- Error: Error messages.
- Fatal: Very serious errors; these indicate the system is probably unusable.
The Current Logging Level field shows what type messages will be saved. All messages with the same or with a greater severity as the Current Logging Level will be saved. For example, the previous graphic displays a Current Logging Level with a Warn status. That means that logs with the level Warn, Error, and Fatal will be saved. If the Current Logging Level were set on Error, then only logs with a status of Error and Fatal are saved.
The default setting for the Log Viewer is Info.
Note: Messages older than 30 days will be deleted.
