In the Orchestrator configuration interface, you can set the level of server log that you require. The default server log level is INFO. Changing the log level affects any new messages that the server writes to the server log and the number of active connections to the database.

Caution

Only set the log level to DEBUG or ALL to debug a problem. Do not use this setting in a production environment because it can seriously impair performance.
