3.9.3. Log Levels (Message Categories)

The different events logged by Certificate System services are deteremined by the log levels, which
makes identifying and filtering events more simple. The different Certificate System log levels are
Table 3.9, "Log Levels and Corresponding Log Messages"
listed in
and Log Entries".
NOTE
All of the Certificate System subsystems (CA, DRM, TKS, and OCSP) have seven log
levels, 0 to 6, except for the TPS subsystem, which has eleven log levels (0 to 10).
Log levels are represented by numbers 0 to 6 (0 to 10 for TPS), each number indicating the level of
logging to be performed by the server. The level sets how detailed the logging should be.
• A higher priority level means less detail because only events of high priority are logged; the highest
priority log level is 0.
• A lower priority level means greater detail because more kinds of events are recorded in the log file;
the lowest priority log level is 6 (10 for TPS).
