Description
The trace log filter is set to allow for logging error messages while ignoring
warning and most status messages. However, very important status
messages will be logged for component startup, shutdown, as well as the
start and end request messages.
The trace log filter is set to include error, warning, and most status
messages in the log output. Status messages that are least important or
highly verbose will be filtered out. This level is not verbose enough for
debugging purposes.
No messages will be excluded by the filter. This level is recommended for
debugging purposes.
