Setting the Event Log Level

You can control which events are logged by the VCS by setting the log level. All events with a level
numerically equal to and lower than the specified logging level are recorded in the event log. So, at
Level 1, only Level 1 events are logged; at Level 2, both Level 1 and Level 2 events are logged, etc.
To set the log level:

System Configuration > Logging

.

You will be taken to the

Logging

page.

About Event Log Levels

All events have an associated level in the range 1-4, with level 1
events considered the most important. The table below gives an
overview of the levels assigned to different events.

See

Events and Levels

for a list of all events that are

logged by the VCS, and the level at which they are logged.

Level

Assigned Events

Level 1

High-level events such as registration requests
and call attempts. Easily human readable. For
example:

call attempt/connected/disconnected

registration attempt/accepted/rejected.

Level 2

All Level 1 Events, plus:

Logs of protocol messages sent and received

(H.323, LDAP, etc.) excluding noisy messages
such as H.460.18 keepalives and H.245
video fast-updates.

Level 3

All Level 1 and Level 2 Events, plus:

Protocol keepalives

Level 4

All Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Events, plus:

SIP messages

Log level

Select the level of logging you
require.
The default is

1

.

Changes to the event
log level affect both
the event log that you

can view via the web
interface, and the information
that is copied to the

remote

log server

(if any) that you

have configured.

Changes to the event
log level are not
retrospective. If you

change the event log level, it
will only effect what is logged
from that point onwards.

Clicking on this link will take
you to the

where you can view and
search the Event Log.

!

We do not usually recommend logging at Level 3 or
Level 4, as the Event Log holds a maximum of 40 MB of
data and logging at these levels on a busy system could

cause the Event Log to be recycled too quickly.
