Setting the Event Log Level

You can control which events are logged by the VCS by setting the log level. All events with a level numerically equal to and lower than
the specified logging level are recorded in the event log. So, at Level 1, only Level 1 events are logged; at Level 2, Level 1 and Level 2
events are logged, etc.
To set the log level:

System Configuration > Logging

.

You will be taken to the

Logging

page.

About Event Log Levels

All events have an associated level in the range 1-3, with level 1
events considered the most important. The table below gives an
overview of the levels assigned to different events.

See

Events Logged at Level 1

,

Events Logged at Level 2

and

Events Logged at Level 3

for complete tables of the events logged at each level.

Level

Assigned Events

Level 1
(User)

High-level events such as registration requests
and call attempts. Easily human readable. For
example:

call attempt/connected/disconnected

registration attempt/accepted/rejected.

Level 2
(Protocol)

All Level 1 Events, plus:
Logs of protocol messages sent and received
(H.323, LDAP, etc.) excluding noisy messages
such as H.460.18 keepalives and H.245 video
fast-updates.

Level 3
(Protocol
Verbose)

Protocol keepalives are suppressed at Level 2.
At logging Level 3, keepalives are also logged,
along with all Level 1 and Level 2 events.

Log Levels

Changes to the event log level are not retrospective. If
you change the event log level, it will only effect what is
logged from that point onwards.

Changes to the event log level affect both the event log
that you can view via the web interface, and the
information that is copied to the

remote log server

(if

any) that you have configured.

you to the

where you can view and
search the Event Log.

!

We do not usually recommend logging at Level 3, as the
Event Log holds a maximum of 100 MB of data and
logging at this level on a busy system could cause the

Event Log to be recycled too quickly.
