You can specify the level at which log entries are written to the log file by setting:

  • The Logging Level (-logginglevel) startup parameter
  • The LOGGING-LEVEL attribute on the LOG-MANAGER system handle
  • The agentLoggingLevel and related properties in the openedge.properties file

The following table shows how to specify logging levels.
