• error – errors that can be fatal or non-fatal for application operation;
• warning – events that reflect unusual situations during application
performance; it is useful for the administrator to be aware of such
situations;
• notice – events related to the application business logics;
• info – general information concerning the application functionality;
• debug – debugging messages;
• all – all the above levels.
You can combine the information categories and their detail levels. For example,
if you want to record all information related to backing up messages, enter the
following parameter value into the [kavmilter.log] section in kavmilter.conf
configuration file:
LogOption=backup.all
To log only configuration errors, type the following:
LogOption=config.error
To prevent some information from logging, type, for example, the following:
LogOption=-scan.debug
The minus before a combination means that this category will be excluded from
logging. The remaining information will be logged.
You can also use three alternative forms for specifying detail level (see table 2 ).
