Configuring the Host Management module logging settings

Prev Next

Using the Endpoint Security Server Web UI, you can configure logging levels (type and amount of logging data) to determine the type of messages logged by the Host Management module.

The table lists the log levels and their description. Each log level includes log messages from lower log levels. For example, alert logs include emergency log messages, critical logs include alert and emergency log messages, and so on. Emergency is the lowest logging level and Debug is the highest logging level. The default logging level is Debug.
