Changing the debug logging level

Setting a log level gets you messages from the level at which the logs are set and higher in the sequence. The default setting is INFO level.

To change the debug logging level

1. Navigate to the configuration file for the component for which you want to collect logs, as shown in the following table.

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

2. Edit the configuration file as described in the preceding step and change the value of the logging level property to one of the following, depending on the level of verbosity required.

3. Save the file.
4. If you changed the logging level for the Indexer component, then re-start the Indexer. For more information, see Starting-or-stopping-product-services.
