Server Log File Security Levels

The following table describes the log levels that you see in all log files, in decreasing order of severity:

Log Level		Description

0	FATAL	Use this log level for serious, non-recoverable errors that can cause the abrupt termination of the CA AuthMinder service.
1	WARNING	Use this log level for undesirable run-time exceptions, potentially harmful situations, and recoverable problems that are not yet FATAL.
2	INFO	Use this log level for capturing information about run-time events. In other words, this information highlights the progress of the application, which might include changes in: Server state, such as start, stop, and restart. Server properties. State of services. State of processes on the Server.
3	DEBUG	Use this log level for logging detailed information for debugging purposes. This might include process tracing and changes in Server states.

Note: For CA AuthMinder Server (arcotwebfort.log), you can set logging to any of these levels and also enable TRACE logging to capture flow details.

Note: When you specify a log level, messages from all other levels of higher significance are also reported. For example, if the LogLevel is specified as 3, then messages with log levels of FATAL, WARNING, and INFO level are also captured.
