There are several possible logging levels that you can choose to be collected in /var/log/evmsEngine.log. The "lowest" logging level, critical, collects only messages about serious system problems, whereas the "highest" level, everything, collects all logging related messages. When you specify a particular logging level, the Engine collects messages for that level and all the levels below it.
The following table lists the allowable log levels and the information they provide:
Table 3-1. EVMS logging levels
| Level name | Description |
|---|---|
| Critical | The health of the system or the Engine is in jeopardy; for example, an operation has failed because there is not enough memory. |
| Serious | An operation did not succeed. |
| Error | The user has caused an error. The error messages are provided to help the user correct the problem. |
| Warning | An error has occurred that the system might or might not be able to work around. |
| Default | An error has occurred that the system has already worked around. |
| Details | Detailed information about the system. |
| Entry_Exit | Traces the entries and exits of functions. |
| Debug | Information that helps the user debug a problem. |
| Extra | More information that helps the user debug a problem than the "Debug" level provides. |
| Everything | Verbose output. |
