Station log levels (spy:/logSetup)
A running station is a combination of many ongoing processes. Using the station's spy "logSetup", you can change the "log
level" of the station processes of interest in order to "tune" station output. To access the station’s logSetup page in 8,
double-click the running station in the Nav tree for its Station Summary view. From there, double-click Spy, then click logSetup.

By default, all station processes have a "Message" log level (level selection denoted by [X]). To change the level of any listed process, click in the desired level column.
Level selection columns are ordered left-to-right in increasing order of message volume.
- Trace — Returns all message activity (verbose). This includes all transactional messages, which may result in too many messages to be useful. Be cautious about using Trace!
- Message (Default) — Returns informational "MESSAGE"s, plus all "ERROR" and "WARNING" types.
- Warning — Returns only "ERROR" and "WARNING" type messages (no informational "MESSAGE"s).
- Error — Returns only "ERROR" type messages (no "WARNING" or informational "MESSAGE"s).
- None — No messages are returned to the station's output.
CAUTION: Increasing station output by assigning trace levels consumes extra station resources and exacts a performance penalty! After troubleshooting, return log levels to default values.
