Log levels

The log level setting controls which events are processed by server logging, and can help you more effectively capture events. They can be configured at a system level or for a particular server by any user with Editor permissions.

Log levels follow the Log4j standard and honor their level designations as much as possible.

INFO is the default value. ERROR level is sufficient in most cases, unless a problem occurs and you need to collect more detailed metrics.
