Log Levels

You can configure log levels to determine the amount of information recorded in the Mail Alert Transport log.

You should only increase log levels above the Info level temporarily, for diagnostic purposes. Increasing the log levels can result in significantly enlarged log files, which can adversely affect disk space and performance.

Change the log levels

1. Navigate to System > Mail Settings > General Settings. The General Settings page is displayed.
2. The Log Levels area displays the current log levels.
3. Move the mouse pointer over the Log Levels area and click Click here to change these settings.
4. Select a value for the When sending messages activity.
   

   The higher the log level, from Error (low) to Debug (high), the more detail is logged. Each level adds detail while continuing to log the information of the lower levels.
