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

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:

•
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.

!
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.
