EMSRV contains comprehensive diagnostics. Based on the specified reporting severity level and whether file logging is enabled, statistics and diagnostic information are logged to the emsrv.log file and displayed on the console (or on the EMSRV for NetWare Message Screen). All messages with a severity level lower than the current level are suppressed. You can set the level when you start EMSRV, and you can change it dynamically, using the EMADMIN utility. The reporting levels are as follows:
There are three categories of EMSRV messages:
During normal operation, you should set the reporting level to "Errors" (reporting-level 2), because performance is affected when large amounts of information are written to the screen or log file. Set the reporting level to "Information" only when you are trying to diagnose a problem.
