Server log levels
The level of logging defines how detailed the log is. A lower level, such as Unusual Activity, provides greater detail because more types of events are logged.
Level | Description |
---|---|
Severe Error | An event is written to the log when a severe problem or critical condition occurs, such as a server failure. |
Error | An event is written to the log when an error condition occurs, such as when a connection attempt to a client fails. |
Warning | An event is written to the log when a warning condition occurs, such as a server communication failure. |
Unusual Activity | An event is written to the log when unusual activity occurs, such as a user trying to log in with an incorrect username. |
Information | An event is written to the log with every significant action that takes place, such as the server log starting. |
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.
