Device log levels

SPEKTRA Edge supports the Syslog sevierity levels outlined in RFC5424 Section 6.2.1.

Here is the brief description of those log levels for your reference.

Log level	Description
Emergency	Logs for the unstable system situation.
Alert	Logs for the immediate action required, or the above.
Critical	Logs for the critical conditions, or the above.
Error	Logs for the error conditions, or the abvoe.
Warning	Logs for the warning conditions, or the above.
Notice	Logs for the normal but significant conditions, or the above.
Informational	Logs for the informational messages, or the above.
Debug	Logs for the debug-level messages, or the above.

Setting the lower device log level means the device uploads the logs at that level and all the higher level logs.

Set it to the higher log level, e.g. Error, in case if you want to reduce the logs forwarded by the particular devices.

Change device log levels

It’s super simple to change the device log forwarding levels.

Go to the Device overview page by clicking the device name on the Project overview page.

Open the Update device details page by clicking the Edit detail option of the device menu option.

Set the appropriate device log fowarding levels, e.g. Error, by selecting it in the Log forwarding minimum log level field.

That’s it!
