Progress 4GL Reference

LOGGING-LEVEL attribute

The level at which log entries are written to the log file.

Data type: INTEGER

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: LOG-MANAGER system handle

Use the LOGGING-LEVEL attribute to specify the level at which log entries are written to the log file specified by the LOGFILE-NAME attribute or the Client Logging (-clientlog) startup parameter. Each logging level specifies a different amount of information.

There are five logging levels:

0 (None) — Log no entries. This is equivalent to turning logging off.
1 (Errors) — Log Progress error messages. This includes all error messages and is unrelated to the entry types specified. Errors are logged at level 1 (Errors) and higher.
2 (Basic) — Log entry type determines the logged information.
3 (Verbose) — Log entry type determines the logged information.
4 (Extended) — Log entry type determines the logged information.

By default, the logging level you specify applies to all log entry types. However, you can specify a different logging level for individual log entry types with using the LOG-ENTRY-TYPES attribute or the Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes) startup parameter.

The LOGGING-LEVEL attribute corresponds to the Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameter.

For more information about the Log Entry Types (-logentrytypes), Client Logging (-clientlog), or Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameters, see OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference and OpenEdge Development: Debugging and Troubleshooting .
