How do I change the Server Logfile Verbosity?

[rex_schrader]

I am attempting to debug a problem I am experiencing on TeamSpeak Server (under Linux). I'd like to get more detail out of the the Server Logfile. The FAQ section says:
Logfile for the TeamSpeak Server

The verbosity of the server logfile can be controlled in the server.ini (there is a special "log" section in newer versions).
Both the server.ini and the logfile, called "server.log" are in the directory in which you installed/unpacked the server (linux + windows).

The Manual does not mention the logfile except in passing. There is no information on the Verbosity setting. I have searched the forums for all other references to the Logfile, but have not found anything addressing this. Additionally, the server.ini file does not included commented out instructions for changing/adding this setting.

I need to know the following:
1) What is the complete syntax in the [log] section of the server.ini file to change the verbosity of the Logfile?
2a) What are all the possible settings for verbosity?
2b) What does each setting do?

Thank you,
Rex "SaintPeter" Schrader

Hello, Admins - is there any reply on this one?
Are you still supporting TS?

form a linux user one could expect that he's able to use the search function, since the first hit for "log verbosity" gives you a full hit !
this is my personal meaning :confused:

The log function should be pretty self explanable, so there is (at least currently) no more details to this. Of course the Doc could be improved on this matter but at it's easy to test what log function enables which logging, I wouldn't put this on high prio.

The cited post does not answer my question completly. In fact, it doesn't even clarify the situation OR answer the question that was asked by the orginal poster.

Note the contents of the [log] section of the server.ini:
[log]
access_r=1
access_u=1
channel_registerred=1
channel_unregisterred=1
sa=1
chat=1
kick_server=1
kick_channel=1
access=1

There is nothing there that says "Verbosity" or any word that could be interpited as that.

I specifically asked:
1) What is the complete syntax in the [log] section of the server.ini file to change the verbosity of the Logfile?
2a) What are all the possible settings for verbosity?
2b) What does each setting do?

I did my homework, I searched the forums, and none of the posts answered the question I had.

As a Linux user, I not only do extensive searches BEFORE I post, but I expect that the documentation will explicitly, if only briefly, explain how things work. Since neither the documentation nor the forum (thus far) satisfy that requirement, I am posting for clarification.

Do YOU read the thread you cited before you replied to me?

well that word is use in text as same "as do this and you get this " by changing the =0 to =1 in the [log] in the .ini file you inprove your loging by logging more with each =1 you place in the .ini

Well, that is much more understandable.

I don't recall ever seeing anything like on other programs.

Basically, each setting represents a message that is either reported or not reported, depending on if it has a 1 or 0 value. Only those conditions listed are logged or loggable.

0= no/off 1=yes or on with each =1 your loging more info !

you've missunderstood me. There is currently NO MORE documentation on this. The verbosity is is not as you are probably accustomed by other server application where you specify a log level. Here you selecting which access should be logged (1) or not (0). This is what we understand as "log verbosity"

access_r=1 #Log registered user access
access_u=1 #Log unregistered user access
channel_registerred=1 #Log channel creation with registered flag
channel_unregisterred=1 #Log channel without registered flag
sa=1 #Log Admin access
chat=1 #Log messages sent to all
kick_server=1 #Log kicks from the server
kick_channel=1 #Log kicks from a channel
access=1 #As far as I know, logs webadmin access (not totaly sure about and can't restart the server right now to test it).

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for.

You might want to update your FAQ to include this explantion in the answer!

Thank you very much!

Oh there are many other log system like levels from 0 -10,... but this requires usually a DEEP look into the lowest section of the man page or doc to find out what they are doing :-)

The TS log seems to be much easier, however some facilities like logging who granted who SA rights,... are missing.
