After installation, the log level is set to the maximum value (7). This ensures that any problems during or immediately after installation are logged. After installation, you may select alternative logging levels to meet your logging requirements. Many customers run with level 7 for maximum information when the problems are reported by users. Other customers select a more modest level such as level 3 that reports failures without much of the internal tracing information associated with the processing of requests. Another useful level is level 6 that removes the many search operations that could dominate the log while maintaining all other information.
