Error).
The logging is hierarchical, with each Logging Level selection containing all of the
Logging Levels below it. The default logging Info Level contains all Error and Warning
entries plus informational log entries.

The default value is set to 10 days for a new installation and 99,999 days on
existing installations (to preserve backward compatibility).
l Size-based logs: Use this setting to restrict log file size, and to keep only a
specified number of them.
