Logging Level

The value of the logging level indicates the importance of a log message. The following values are used:

OFF
SEVERE (highest)— All manner of errors and exceptions are reported at SEVERE.
WARNING— Warnings are often non-fatal error conditions.
INFO— Informative messages describing various application states.
CONFIG— Messages generated upon initialization of various application components.
FINE— Public API tracing occurs at level FINE. Tracing involves annotating the entry (including input parameters) and exit (as well as return result) of a method call.
FINER— Tracing of selected non-public API.
FINEST (lowest)— Tracing of selected non-public API.
ALL

Enabling logging at a certain level enables logging for that level and all levels higher. By default, MicroStrategy Web products are generally coded to log messages at the SEVERE and FINE levels. The SEVERE level is used for logging exceptions (errors) and the FINE level is used to indicate entry and exit points for methods in public classes. The FINER level is used only in private classes to provide additional details.
