Trace Levels
Trace levels determine how much detail is written to the TraceWorX log files. The default trace level is None for all components, meaning no trace messages are logged in the system. You can change the trace level to the desired value to start logging diagnostic information.
The following table describes the available trace levels.
|
Trace Level |
Effect |
|---|---|
|
None |
No trace messages are logged (default). |
|
Fatal |
Logs trace messages for major issues, such as an unexpected major failure of an operation or an application crash. |
|
Error |
Logs trace messages for all unexpected failures. |
|
Warning |
Logs trace messages for events that do not necessarily indicate a failure in the system, but might warrant further investigation to determine if there is a problem. |
|
Notice |
Logs important trace messages for expected/common events in the system. Logging at this level can be used to give a frame of reference for analyzing a trace log, so you can see where errors occur in relation to a series of expected operations. |
|
Info |
Logs more detailed trace messages for expected/common events than Notice. |
|
Debug |
Logs trace messages for extra diagnostic information in between Info trace messages. The extra information can help narrow down where a problem is occurring if the Info trace messages are not precise enough to determine the root cause. |
|
Debug Verbose (All) |
Logs trace message for even more detailed diagnostic information. This setting may substantially increase the quantity of trace messages. |
Each trace level builds upon previous trace level(s). So, for example, the trace level Warning also includes Error and Fatal messages.
