Log Levels
The SDK varies the amount of detail it records according to four
logging levels.
Setting SDK Log Levels
To enable logging for your SDK-based web applications, add the following lines inside the
<configuration> block of the Web.config file. You can copy these lines from the
SDK_root\samples\ASPNET\Web.config file.
z You might want to change the value of the file element to write log records to a location
you prefer.
z Set the value of the level element to the desired detail described in Table E.4, “SDK
Logging Levels.”

ABLE E.4 SDK Logging Levels
Level Description
ALL Same as DEBUG
ERROR Log only severe errors
INFO Date/time of API operation, operation name, elapsed time, success or failure indication
DEBUG Full text of requests and responses and other debugging messages. DEBUG logging can
degrade the performance of the SDK. Be careful about using it for day-to-day
operation.
N OTE: Because requests and responses are asynchronous, the recording of requests and
responses might appear out of sequence in the log file.
