Table 5.4 . Error Log Levels
Setting Console Name Description
1 Trace function calls Logs a message when the
server enters and exits a
function.
2 Packeting handlings Logs debug information for
packets processed by the
server.
4 Heavy trace output Logs when the server enters
and exits a function, with
additional debugging messages.
8 Connection management Logs the current connection
status, including the connection
methods used for a SASL bind.
16 Packets sent/received Print out the numbers of packets
sent and received by the server.
32 Search filter processing Logs all of the functions called
by a search operation.
64 Config file processing Prints any .conf configuration
files used with the server, line
by line, when the server is
started. By default, only slapd-
collations.conf is available
and processed.
128 Access control list processing
2048 Log entry parsing. Logs schema parsing
debugging information.
4096 Housekeeping Housekeeping thread
debugging.
8192 Replication Logs detailed information about
every replication-related
operation, including updates and
errors, which is important for
debugging replication problems.
16384 Default Default level of logging used for
critical errors and other
messages that are always
written to the error log, such as
server startup messages.
Messages at this level are
always included in the error log,
regardless of the log level
setting.
32768 Entry cache Database entry cache
debugging.
65536 Plug-ins Writes an entry to the log file
when a server plug-in calls
slapi-log-error, so this is
used for server plug-in
debugging.
131072 Microsecond resolution for
timestamps instead of the
default seconds. This cannot be
enabled in the Directory Server
Console.
262144 Access control summary Summarizes information about
access to the server, much less
verbose than level 128. This
value is recommended for use
when a summary of access
control processing is needed.
Use 128 for very detailed
processing messages.
5.2.2. Error Log Content
The error log format is simpler than the access log entries. It is also more flexible because the kind of
information returned depends on the service or operation which is writing the log entry. Generally, error
log entries contain the following elements:
