Description

Console_LogLevel defines how verbosely the Domino server writes to the live console and console.log. The parameter is a compact alternative to task-specific debug switches when you need more (or less) detail from the server core in general – for example, while investigating recurring performance or stability issues.

Example configuration

Console_LogLevel=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Higher levels significantly increase log volume – set sensible log rotation (ConsoleLogMaxKbSize, CONSOLE_LOG_MAX_FILES).
  • Switchable at runtime via set config Console_LogLevel=...; revert to the default value without restart afterwards.
  • Best enabled temporarily for diagnostics only – avoid leaving it at 2 permanently.
  • Pairs with Console_Log_Enabled, Debug_Outfile, and task-specific debug parameters.
  • Affects the server core, not individual add-on tasks like DRAPI or Traveler.
