Setting the Log Detail Level for DHCP Service

Setting the Log Detail Level for DHCP Service

You can choose the level of detail you want to log for DHCP service.

“Low (errors only)” will indicate conditions for which you need to take immediate action (for example, if the DHCP server can’t start up). This level corresponds to bootpd reporting in “quiet” mode, with the “-q” flag.

“Medium (errors and warnings)” can alert you to conditions in which data is inconsistent, but the DHCP server is still able to operate. This level corresponds to default bootpd reporting.

“High (all events)” will record all activity by the DHCP service, including routine functions. This level corresponds to bootpd reporting in “verbose” mode, with the “-v” flag.

To set up the log detail level:

1In Server Admin, choose DHCP from the Computers & Services list.

2Click Settings.

3Select the Logging tab.

4Choose the logging option you want.

5Click Save.
