Server log levels

The level of logging defines how detailed the log is. A lower level, such as Unusual Activity, provides greater detail because more types of events are logged.

Level Description
Severe Error An event is written to the log when a severe problem or critical condition occurs, such as a server failure.
Error An event is written to the log when an error condition occurs, such as when a connection attempt to a client fails.
Warning An event is written to the log when a warning condition occurs, such as a server communication failure.
Unusual Activity An event is written to the log when unusual activity occurs, such as a user trying to log in with an incorrect username.
Information An event is written to the log with every significant action that takes place, such as the server log starting.

Note: Events for the selected level and all higher levels are logged. If you select Unusual Activity, the server logs all severe error, error, warning, and unusual activity events.
