Log Message Levels

When you enable logging for any of the WatchGuard servers, you can set the level assigned to the log messages from each server. This enables you to select what type of log messages are included in your log files. These log message level options are the same, whether you select to send log messages to a WatchGuard Log Server, Windows Event Viewer, or to a log file.

The available log levels in the Select a log level drop-down list are:

Error

(Level: Low)

Includes only log messages for serious errors that cause a service or process to terminate.

Warning

(Level: Medium)

Includes details of normal conditions and process operations. Also includes all details from the Error level.

Information

(Level: High)

Includes details about successful log message operations. Also includes all details from the Error and Warning log levels.

Debug

(Level: Advanced)

Includes detailed log messages from all log levels. We recommend you only select this level when directed to do so by a WatchGuard Technical Support representative, to help diagnose a specific configuration problem.
