Server log levels

Server log levels indicate the severity of messages and errors returned by the Helix ALM Server. The logging level selected in the server options controls level of detail displayed in the log. A lower level, such as Unusual Activity, provides greater detail because more types of events are logged. See Setting log options.

Level An event is written to the log when:
Severe Error A severe problem or critical condition occurs, such as a server failure.
Error An error condition occurs, such as when a connection attempt to a client fails.
Warning A warning condition occurs, such as RDBMS connection problems.
Unusual Activity Unusual activity occurs, such as a user trying to log in with an incorrect username.
Information Any significant action occurs, such as a Helix ALM Web user session timing out.

Note:  Events for the selected level and all higher levels are logged. If you select Unusual Activity in the server options, the server logs all severe error, error, warning, and unusual activity events.
