Configuring the Trace Log

You can configure the trace log severity message levels for the CMP system.
Note: For information on configuring debug logs, see Configuring Debug Logs.

To configure the trace log:

  1. From the System Administration section of the navigation pane, select Trace Log.

    The Trace Log page opens in the work area.

  2. Click Modify.

    The Modify Trace Log Settings page opens.

  3. Select the Trace Log Level from the list.

    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 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.

  4. Click Save.
The trace log is configured.
