Setting the logging level

You can specify the level of information that is recorded for the NetFlow Log via the NetFlow Settings dialog.

Note: The logging level that you specify on the NetFlow Settings dialog determines the level of data that NetFlow Monitor records, whereas the logging level that you specify on the NetFlow Log report page determines the level of data displayed within the report.

Important: Keep in mind that if you choose the Normal or Errors Only levels, you will not be able to view the Verbose level from the NetFlow Log report page.

To set the NetFlow Monitor logging level:

1. From any workspace view or report in the web interface, select GO. The GO menu appears.
2. If the NetFlow section is not visible, click NetFlow. The NetFlow section of the GO menu appears.
3. Select Configure > NetFlow Settings. The NetFlow Settings dialog appears.
4. Under General, select the Log level.
   • Normal. Select this option to record errors and some general event information.
   • Verbose Logging. Select this option to record more detailed information than normal logging. This option can create a large number of records and may be resource intensive; it is only recommended for use while troubleshooting issues.
   • Errors Only. Select this option to record only events that register as errors.
5. Click OK to save changes.
