    Errors, Warnings, Information, Protocol details, Hex-dump

    Use this list to determine which events are recorded in the event log. These categories provide increasing detail as you move down the list, and selecting any item automatically selects all the previous items. For full control of which events are recorded, use the Custom option. Errors are fatal program errors, Warnings are authentication failures. Information includes all successful connections, logins, logouts, and general information. Protocol details include all messages sent to and from the server. Hex-dump includes all actual data exchanged and may include private and sensitive information. To maintain security, it is recommended to at least monitor Errors and Warnings. NOTE If you have configured Reflection PKI Services Manager to send debug messages to the Reflection for Secure IT server (by enabling client debugging on the PKI Services Manager server), you need to set the log lever to Protocol details or higher to see these messages.

Note

Hex data logging may have a severe performance impact and should only be used for diagnostic purposes when the server is not busy.
