Logging Configuration

Configure the logging levels for the WLO. This section allows for a different logging

configuration for each log location. This allows for a better reporting tool, and no

duplicate log entries.

The first option is the log level. This uses the standard log / facility levels for logging.

Levels: 0=Emergency, 1=Alert, 2=Critical, 3=Error, 4=Warning, 5=Notification,

6=Information, 7=Debugging. The log level will determine how many log entries

the WLO will produce. Setting a low number, the logs will only show minimum

entries related to service or attack issues. Using a higher number, will show more

log entries related to simple traffic flow. Level 7, debugging is used for support

purposes only, as it will log everything, including key strokes.
