Configuring Log Settings

To configure the log settings for the servers in a cluster:

From the Policy Server section of the navigation pane, select Configuration.
The content tree displays a list of server groups; the initial group is ALL.
From the content tree, select the ALL group.
The Policy Server Administration page opens in the work area.
Select an MPE device from the list.
The Policy Server Administration page opens in the work area and details the configuration settings of the selected device.
Select the Logs tab.
The Policy Server Administration page opens and details the logs configuration settings for the specified device.
To edit the logs configuration settings, click Modify.
The editable fields open in the work area.
In the Modify Trace Log Settings section of the page, 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 The BSD syslog Protocol. 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.
In the Modify Policy Log Settings section of the page, configure the Policy Log Level.

- OFF
