It is possible to increase or decrease the levels of logging depending on the requirements. For example, you might choose, temporarily, to increase the logging level of a particular component from “Info” to “Trivia”, to obtain a more detailed view or greater insight into what is occurring within that component on the host in question. This technique can be used to help resolve a particular problem that is occurring within the environment. Alternatively, you might be required to reduce logging levels to reduce the amount of syslog traffic traversing a WAN link between the syslog source and target servers. This is described in greater depth in Section
3.4.1,
Data Throttling.
