Server log levels
The level of logging defines how detailed the server log is. A lower level, such as Unusual Activity, provides more detail because multiple types of events are logged.
| Level | Writes an event to the log when: |
|---|---|
| Severe Error (1) | A severe problem or critical condition occurs, such as a server failure. |
| Error (2) | An error condition occurs, such as a failed connection attempt. |
| Warning (3) | A warning condition occurs, such as the server not starting as an NT service. |
| Unusual Activity (4) | Unusual activity occurs, such as a user trying to log in with an incorrect username. |
| Information (5) | Any significant action occurs, such as a user action timing out. |
Events for the selected level and all higher levels are logged. If you select Unusual Activity, the server logs all severe error, error, warning, and unusual activity events.
