Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Debugging and Troubleshooting

Logging levels

Logging level represents the amount of logging information written to the log file, as shown in Table 5–12.

Table 5–12: Logging levels 

Logging level	Description
0 (None)	Log no entries. This is equivalent to turning logging off.
1 (Errors)	Log OpenEdge error messages. This includes all error messages and is unrelated to the entry types specified. Errors continue to be logged at all higher levels.
2 (Basic)	Log entry types determine the logged information. Each entry type will generate at least some output. This is the default.
3 (Verbose)	Log entry types determine the logged information.
4 (Extended)	Log entry types determine the logged information.

By default, the logging level you specify using the Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameter, or a related property, applies to all entry types specified; however, you have the option of specifying a different logging level for each entry type.

Valid logging level values are 1, 2, 3, and 4. The default value is 2.

Note: To turn off logging without modifying other logging characteristics, set the logging level to 0 (None). If you do not specify a log file, but do specify other logging parameters, you receive a warning message that alerts you to this inconsistency.
