   Log Level

   Messages at the selected level or higher appear in the log. The available levels are SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, and FINEST. The default level is INFO, so the log will contain messages of INFO, WARNING, or SEVERE levels.

   To ensure that the messages you want to view appear in the log, first set the appropriate log levels on the Specific Logger Settings page.

   Timestamp

   Displays log messages of a certain time period.

   You can view 100 most recent log entries, or type a time period in the From and To text boxes.

   If you choose a Specific Range:

   • Both the From Date and To Date values are required

   • The From Date value cannot be later than the To Date value

   • The To Date value cannot be later than Today's Date

   • The From Time and To Time values are optional. If the From Time value is specified, then the To Time value has to be specified. For the Time value, the syntax must take the form hh:mm:ss.SSS. SSS stands for milliseconds. For example, 18:20:10.000
