Configuring Trace Log Settings

To configure trace log settings:

  1. From the Mediation section of the navigation pane, select Configuration.

    The content tree displays a list of Mediation server groups; the initial group is ALL.

  2. From the content tree, select the Mediation server.

    The Mediation server Administration page opens in the work area.

  3. Select the Logs tab.
  4. Click Modify.

    The Modify Trace Log Settings page opens in the work area.

  5. In the Modify Trace Log Settings section of the page, configure the Trace Log Level.

    This setting indicates the minimum severity of messages that are recorded in the trace log. These severity levels correspond to the syslog message severities from IETF RFC 3164. Adjusting this setting allows new notifications, at or above the configured severity, to be recorded in the trace log. The levels are:

    • Emergency — Provides the least amount of logging, recording only notification of events causing the system to be unusable.
    • Alert — Action must be taken immediately in order to prevent an unusable system.
    • Critical — Events causing service impact to operations.
    • Error — Designates error events which may or may not be fatal to the application.
    • Warning (default) — Designates potentially harmful situations.
    • Notice — Provides messages that may be of significant interest that occur during normal operation.
    • Info — Designates informational messages highlighting overall progress of the application.
    • Debug — Designates information events of lower importance.

    CAUTION: Before changing the default logging level, consider the implications. Lowering the log level setting from its default value (for example, from Warning to Info) causes more notifications to be recorded in the log and can adversely affect performance. Similarly, raising the log level setting (for example, from Warning to Alert) causes fewer notifications to be recorded in the log and may cause you to miss important notifications.

  6. Click Save.
The trace log settings are configured.
