Level of Logging

For a given program component, you can specify the level of logging. You do this by means of a variable setting for that component; the name of the variable is LogSeverity. A variable that is specific to a particular Screen overrides the general setting for that component. Beyond the variable setting for a specific component, a general (that is, a component that is not specific) variable controls otherwise unlimited logging. A variable that is specific to a given Screen overrides this general default. This search order can be summarized as:

       Key Sought
 ---------------------------------------------------
sys=Screenname
prg=programname name=LogSeverity
prg=programname name=LogSeverity
sys=Screenname name=LogSeverity
name=LogSeverity

As initially configured, SunScreen contains variables defined for each program components logging variable, along with the noncomponent non-Screen (global global) default; all are initially set to the value info.

You can only configure events to be logged using the command line.
