Logging Xmedia Server events
The Xmedia Server’s Logging Levels and Debug Categories settings allow you to specify
the type and categories of events that you want to be recorded in the Xmedia Server log files.
L
OG
L
EVEL
This sets the default log level used by all logging categories except those that have been
checked in the Debug Categories list. The choices are:
•
Error - Only log errors and essential operations.
•
Warn - Log unsuccessful operations that may indicate a problem (in addition to all
messages logged at the Error level).
•
Info - (Default) Log important events that occur during normal conditions (in addition to
all messages logged at the Warn level).
It is recommended to set the Log Level to Info in order to provide enough information in
the logs to diagnose common problems without affecting performance.
