Citrix Systems 5.6 manual Message commands, Message parameters, Message-create, Message-list

The optional parameter key specifies the particular logging subsystem. If this parameter is not set, it will default to all logging subsystems.

The optional parameter level specifies the logging level. Valid values are:

•debug

•info

•warning

•error
