Save button to save these settings to the host’s ~/logging/logging.propertiesfile.Settings become immediately active, affecting station output as seen in the Application Director.
CAUTION: Be aware that persisted log settings are not part of a station’s configuration, even though you access them through a station’s
DebugService. Settings apply to any station run on the host, until changed and saved again. Therefore, be sure to return settings back to normal levels and/or delete
additions after concluding a debug session. Otherwise, excessive station output could adversely impact station performance.
