4.4 Specifying the Level of Trace and Debug Information

The level of detail controls the number of messages you receive. The trace level is the default that gives information about the actions of the MBean server and other components. The debug level includes all the trace information providing information to help diagnose Java DMK implementation. If this level is specified, the information of LEVEL_TRACE is sent too. It is possible to specify the level of trace or debug information you want to receive. Two levels of information are specified in the TraceTags class.

LEVEL_TRACE

Provides information to help a developer when programming

LEVEL_DEBUG

Provides information to help diagnose Java DMK implementation

If you choose the second option, you automatically receive all trace information as well as debug information. By default, the level is set to LEVEL_TRACE.
