Configuring Log Levels
You can configure logging levels for both the RDU and the DPE to suit your specific requirements. For
example, the logging level for the RDU could be set to Warning and the level for the DPE could be set
to Alert.
example, the logging level for the RDU could be set to Warning and the level for the DPE could be set
to Alert.
Log messages are written based on certain events taking place. Whenever an event takes place, the
appropriate log message and level are assigned and, if that level is less than or equal to the configured
level the message is written to the log. The message is not written to the log if the level is higher than
the configured value.
appropriate log message and level are assigned and, if that level is less than or equal to the configured
level the message is written to the log. The message is not written to the log if the level is higher than
the configured value.
For example, assume that the log level is set to 4-Warning. All events generating messages with a log
level of 4 or less are written into the log file. If the log level is set to 6-Information, the log file will
receive all messages. Consequently, configuring a higher log level results in a larger log file size.
