Logging Settings

The following table describes the fields on the Logging Settings page.

Field	Description
Logging level	Leave the default, Debug, unless advised to change it by Polycom support.
	Production reduces system overhead and log file sizes, but omits information
	that’s useful for troubleshooting. Verbose debug is not recommended for
	production systems.
Rolling frequency	If rolling the logs daily (the default) produces logs that are too large, shorten
	the interval.
Retention period (days)	The number of days to keep log archives. For most systems, we recommend
	setting this to 7.
Local log forwarding	Enables you to forward selected log entries to a central log management
	server (such as Graylog2).
	Specify:
	• The address of the destination server. It must be running some version of
	syslog.
	• The socket type (transport) for which the destination server’s version of
	syslog is configured. Most versions of syslog support only UDP, the default,
	but syslog-ng also supports TCP.
	• The facility value. Default is Local0.
	• The log or logs to forward.
	Note: The RealPresence DMA system’s server.log entries are mapped to
	syslog-compliant severities (a “warn” message from server.log arrives at the
	destination server with the syslog-compliant “warn” level). All other logs being
	forwarded are assigned the syslog-compliant “notice” severity.
	Each log message is forwarded with its server-side timestamp intact. The
	receiving syslog adds its own timestamp, but preserving the RealPresence
	DMA-applied timestamp makes it easier to accurately troubleshoot
	time-sensitive events.
