This sets ZENworks® for Servers (ZfS) and Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED) messaging defaults for the current server.
The amount of information that the Distributor or Subscriber Agent sends, displays, or writes to its own log file can vary according to the message levels you select. The defaults are designed to provide optimum information with minimum drag on network traffic. Detailed messaging levels could cause unnecessary network traffic and result in a large log file and slower performance.
For log files, it is important to set the message levels at minimal detail and to purge entries older than six days.
The message level options are:
0 = No messages
1 = Errors
2 = Successes and level 1 messages
3 = Warnings and level 2 messages
4 = Information and level 3 messages
5 = Trace information and level 4 messages
6 = Developer trace information and level 5 messages
Messaging levels are accumulative. For example, level 3 includes the successes from level 2.
