Understand log flags

Each message sent to the Logger by an installed component belongs to a specific message category. Each message category has an associated log flag.

The status of a log flag indicates whether messages that belong to the message category are logged or not. When a log flag is active, the messages from the category are logged. Conversely, an inactive log flag prevents messages from being logged.

There are two types of log flags:

• Default log flags

  All installed components include default log flags, which are associated with standard message categories.

• Custom log flags

  Custom log flags apply to unique message categories that are used by only a few installed components.
