Specifying Logging Level

The indexing log normally displays status, error, and warning messages. If this does not provide sufficient information for you, you can increase the output by specifying the level you want in the inetsrch.ini file. Specify the following in the [UniversalSpider] section of the inetsrch.ini file:

LogLevel = level [...]

where level is any one or more of the following: verbose, debug, or trace. Separate the values with spaces or commas. For example:


[Universal Spider]
LogLevel = verbose debug
Specifying verbose alone provides the smallest amount of additional output. Specifying all three provides the greatest amount of additional output.
