Log Levels: Basic and Bit Flag Parameters

The following table lists the supported basic values for the -hwagentd_log_levels section in the hwmgmtd.conf file.

Log Level	Messages Logged
ERROR	Any error messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent
WARNING	Any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent
INFO	Any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent and informative messages about normal functioning

Using bit flag parameters allows you to set the logging level with a finer level of granularity. The following table lists supported values.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you use the basic logging levels. The bit flag parameters are for advanced troubleshooting.

Log Level	Bit Code	Messages Logged
EMERG	0x0001	Information about the system being unusable
ALARM	0x0002	Information about any immediate action that must be taken
CRIT	0x0004	Information related to the Hardware Management Agent either not starting or stopping because of critical conditions
ERROR	0x0008	Information about any error messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent
WARNING	0x0010	Information about any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent
NOTICE	0x0020	Information related to normal functioning
INFO	0x0040	Information about any error and warning messages generated by the Hardware Management Agent and informative messages about normal functioning
DEBUG	0x0080	Verbose debug-level messages, useful in troubleshooting
TRACE	0x0100	Highly verbose debug-level messages, useful in troubleshooting

Note:

levels DEBUG and TRACE generate a lot of detailed messages and are designed for troubleshooting. These levels are not recommended for production usage.

For example, when you want to set all logging levels between EMERG and NOTICE, the bit code values of all the required levels must be added and then converted to a decimal value. Referring to preceding table, the addition would be as follows:

0x0001 + 0x0002 + 0x0004 + 0x0008 + 0x0010 + 0x0020 = 0x003f

Converting 0x003f to decimal equals 63, which is the desired log level. This is the decimal number that should be assigned to the -hwagentd_log_levels parameter in the hwmgmtd.conf file.
