/* Event severity constants */
#define DS_EVENT_SEV_ALWAYS 0
#define DS_EVENT_SEV_MINIMAL 1
#define DS_EVENT_SEV_BASIC 2
#define DS_EVENT_SEV_EXTENSIVE 3
#define DS_EVENT_SEV_VERBOSE 4
#define DS_EVENT_SEV_INTERNAL 5
Like Eric said :)
DS logs hundreds of events, and each event is logged using one of the
severity constants above. Plus each event falls into one of 24 categories.
So, it's basically hardcoded. If you want to see all possible events, then
you set each value to 5. But your ADAM log will pretty soon overflow, if you
have any kind of load on your server. We recommend keeping all levels at
zero. When we need to troubleshoot a problem, we'd tell you to bump the
logging level on some categories, to see what's up. And then you reset it to
zero.
