All Events have an associated level in the range 1-3, with level 1 considered the most important. The

table below shows the levels assigned to different events:

Level

Assigned Events

Level 1
(User)

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
(Protocol)

Logs of protocol messages sent and received (H.323, LDAP, etc) excluding

noisy messages such as H.460.18 keep-alives and H.245 video fast-

updates. . .

Level 3
(Protocol Verbose)

Protocol keep-alives are suppressed at Level 2. At logging level 3, keep-

alives are also logged.

Setting the log level

You can control which events are logged by the Gatekeeper by specifying the log level. All events with a

level numerically equal to and lower than the specified logging level are recorded in the event log.
To set the log level, either issue the command:

xConfiguration Log Level: <1..3>

or go to

System Configuration

->

System

and in the

Logging

section, select the desired level from the

Log

Level

drop-down menu.

By default, logging is set to level 1.
