PIX/ASA logging supports eight levels. The higher the level, the more information generated, as each level includes the messages from all lower levels.


Keyword Level Message
emergency 0 System unusable
alert 1 Immediate action needed
critical 2 Critical condtion
error 3 Error condition
warning 4 Warning condition
notification 5 Normal but significant condition
informational 6 Informational messages
debugging 7 Debugging


Be careful to evaluate the volume of logging generated at levels 5 and above…the number of messages can be significant. Specific messages have default levels, but can be changed using the command
logging message message# level level
