Introduction to the Logs

Changing the Logging Level

Contents

For each channel, you can specify a logging level. This enables you to control the types of log messages that are generated for this channel.

Note: You must be a member of the Administrators role to specify the logging level for a channel. See Roles for more information on roles in Iguana.

The following logging levels are defined:

Level Meaning
Normal Display all errors and messages.
Errors Display errors only.
Debug Display all errors and messages, plus debugging messages.

Note: If you are experiencing performance problems with your database connection, you can use Debug to log messages and track database performance. See Using Logging to Track SQL Performance for more details.
