  5. From the Least critical event to report to the event log drop-down list, select a level for event logs.

    Note:

    Event logs are Windows logs. By default, SharePoint generates warning and above level event logs.

    Note:

    Trace logs are SharePoint logs. By default, SharePoint generates high and above level trace logs.

    The following table describes the log levels.

    Log Level Description

    Critical and Unexpected

    When a critical error occurs during a function and the connector fails to handle the error, SharePoint generates critical and unexpected logs.

    When a critical error occurs during execution, the connector continues with the functionality and Windows generates warning and high logs.

    Verbose

    These are informative messages and logs.
