About Event Log Levels

All events have an associated level in the range 1-3, with level 1 events considered the most important. The table below gives an overview of the levels assigned to different events.

See Events Logged at Level 1,

Events Logged at Level 2 and Events Logged at Level 3 for complete tables of the events logged at each level.

Level	Assigned Events
Level 1	High-level events such as registration requests
(User)	and call attempts. Easily human readable. For
	example:
	• call attempt/connected/disconnected
	• registration attempt/accepted/rejected.
Level 2	All Level 1 Events, plus:
(Protocol)	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	Protocol keepalives are suppressed at Level 2.
(Protocol	At logging Level 3, keepalives are also logged,
Verbose)	along with all Level 1 and Level 2 events.

We do not usually recommend logging at Level 3, as the ! Event Log holds a maximum of 100 MB of data and

logging at this level on a busy system could cause the Event Log to be recycled too quickly.

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.

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.

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, Level 1 and Level 2 events are logged, etc.

To set the log level:

You will be taken to the Logging page.
