Change Logging Settings
You can change the levels of logging that Site Recovery Manager provides for the
Site Recovery Manager Server components.
Site Recovery Manager Server operates log rotation. When you restart Site Recovery Manager Server, or
when a log file becomes large, Site Recovery Manager Server creates a new log file and writes subsequent
log messages to the new log file. When Site Recovery Manager Server creates new log files, it compresses the
old log files to save space.
You might reduce the logging levels for some Site Recovery Manager Server components because log files
become too large too quickly. You might increase logging levels for certain components to help diagnose
problems. The list of available logging levels is the same for all Site Recovery Manager Server components.
none
Turns off logging.
quiet
Records minimal log entries.
panic
Records only panic log entries. Panic messages occur in cases of complete
failure.
error
Records panic and error log entries. Error messages occur in cases of
problems that might or might not result in a failure.
warning
Records panic, error, and warning log entries. Warning messages occur for
behavior that is undesirable but that might be part of the expected course of
operation.
info
Records panic, error, warning, and information log entries. Information
messages provide information about normal operation.
verbose
Records panic, error, warning, information, and verbose log entries. Verbose
messages provide more detailed information than information messages.
trivia
Records panic, error, warning, information, verbose, and trivia log entries.
Trivia messages provide all available information. This level of logging is
useful for debugging but it can produce so much data that it might affect
performance.
NOTE Set this logging level only when instructed by VMware Support to
help resolve a problem.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client, click Site Recovery > Sites, and select a site.
