Specify System Log Settings

You can specify the level of details that appears in the system logs. The log level you specify affects alerts for notification policies. Alerts are only sent for events that meet or exceed the log level you specify.

About this task

The system log levels are shown in the following table. The Description column provides a description of each level and explains how it corresponds to the Cast Iron Management API log level.
Severity Description
INFO Informational messages. (Corresponds the Cast Iron Management API "INFO" log level).
WARNING Warning messages. (Corresponds to the Cast Iron Management API "WARNING" log level).
ERROR Serious errors that may need user attention. (Corresponds to the Cast Iron Management API "SEVERE" log level).
CRITICAL Critical errors requiring user or administrator attention. (Corresponds to the Cast Iron Management API "FATAL" log level).
FINEST Retrieves all logs at level above FINEST. (Corresponds to the Cast Iron Management API "ALL" log level).
Note: In certain cases, log levels set in the WMC override settings in the Cast Iron Management API. For example, if the WMC logging level for a component is set to FINEST, logs retrieved by the Cast Iron Management API are also set at the FINEST level. Additionally, if the WMC system logging level is set to INFO, logs retrieved by the Cast Iron Management API are also set at INFO.
Note: If you do not receive notifications for events, it might be that you do not have the system log level set high enough to produce entries that would trigger a notification.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Logs > System Log. The System Log page is displayed.
  2. Click Settings. The System Log Settings dialog box is displayed.
  3. From the list, select a log level for each system.
  4. Click Save.

Results

A confirmation message is displayed. The system log logs all events that occur at the level you specified or higher for the specific system. For example, if you chose the Error level for Deployment, all events that were Error or Critical level in the Deployment system are logged.
