Level of Logging

Because the level of logging from a given program entity can be limited by the setting of the LogSeverity variable for that entity, a variable can be specific to a particular Screen (within a CMG group of centrally-managed Screens) or applicable to all Screens (those without a Screen-specific variable). If no variable is defined for a given entity, more general variables control such logging (again, on a per-Screen or non-Screen-specific basis). The search order for log limiter variables can be summarized as:

sys=Screenname prg=entityname name=LogSeverity




prg=entityname name=LogSeverity




sys=Screenname name=LogSeverity




name=LogSeverity

As initially configured, SunScreen contains log limiter variables for each program entity, as well as the non-Screen, non-entity-specific (global global) default. All are initially configured to the value info.

Log limiter variables are configured using the configuration editor.
