Description

Log_Replication controls how detailed replication operations are logged in log.nsf and on the console. HCL defines the levels as follows: 0 = no logging, 1 = DB replication (which database replicated when with whom), 2 = additional document details, 3 = document incl. design+data, 4 = field-level (every changed field), 5 = summary view — NOT more verbose than 4! Values ≥ 3 are I/O- and log-volume-intensive.

Example configuration

Log_Replication=2

Notes & pitfalls

  • The value 0 disables logging – not recommended, as it makes diagnosis harder.
  • Activate values 3–4 only temporarily for troubleshooting, then reset them.
  • Level 5 (summary) provides a summarised view and is NOT more detailed than 4.
  • Account for the log volume when sizing log.nsf and console.log rotation.
  • Can be configured equivalently in the Configuration document (Diagnostics tab).
