  3. Select the Retire option considering your log and disk sizes.
  4. Click Save button to activate the settings.

There are 5 types of Log levels listed below:

  1. INFO : the standard log level indicating that something happened, the application entered a certain state.

  2. CRITICAL: tells that the application encountered an event or entered a state in which one of the crucial business functionality is no longer working.

  3. ERROR: tells that the application hits an issue preventing one or more functionalities from properly functioning.

  4. WARNING: indicates that something unexpected happened in the application, a problem, or a situation that might disturb one of the processes. But that doesn't mean that the application failed.

  5. DEBUG: DEBUG log level should be used for information that may be needed for diagnosing issues and troubleshooting. There are 5 levels available for debugging purposes:

    • DEBUG
    • DEBUG2
    • DEBUG3

warning

Be careful that log files could eventually consume all available disk space on a system if they were not rotated, and pruned on a regular basis.

Using the Retire option, you may choose a time period for the logs to be deleted. Log files are automatically deleted after three (3) days by default. You may erase log files right away if you need to in an emergency by clicking on the Delete Now button.
