Overview: Logging
Logging controls determine which diagnostic events are recorded and how long their storage remains available.
A level filter selects detail; rotation and retention bound the surviving history. The two mechanisms therefore affect different parts of an investigation's evidence. These pages explain why a missing event needs context about both the configured logging and the interval still retained.
Logging levels
Logging levels select which diagnostic events are recorded, so the available evidence depends on the enabled detail and the component producing it.Log rotation
Log rotation changes the active log or retained segments so diagnostic storage remains bounded, with size and retention controlling available history.
