Description. When OBI reports and ad hoc queries are run, users may want to view corresponding performance data in the nqquery.log (oracle\oraclebi\server\log\NQQuery.log). The OBI LOG LEVEL application setting provides the level and type of data desired for a log entry. The default level is 0 (no logging), while the highest level is 5. Setting this parameter to a level higher than 0 may impact the performance of all OBI reports. The OBI LOG LEVEL is exposed in Application Settings when a full OBI license is active (OBIEE Enterprise, OPB_<version number>).

For more explanation of the OBI Query Log (nqquery.log), refer to the OBIEE Server Administration Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31770.pdf).
