The SetGlobalLoggingConfiguration method, in Configuration Manager, defines the global logging configuration for the client. This configuration represents either component-level logging or default logging if component-level logging is not defined.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and defines the method.

UInt32 SetGlobalLoggingConfiguration(
	 UInt32 LogLevel,
	 UInt32 LogMaxSize,
	 UInt32 LogMaxHistory,
	 Boolean DebugLogging
);

Parameters

LogLevel

Data type: UInt32Qualifiers: [in]The level of detail that the log will capture. Possible values are shown below. The default value is 1.

0

Verbose logging

1

Normal logging

2

No logging
LogMaxSize

Data type: UInt32Qualifiers: [in]The maximum size, in bytes, of a given log file.
LogMaxHistory

Data type: UInt32Qualifiers: [in]The number of incremented log files to accumulate before deleting. When this number has been reached, the creation of a new log file will result in the deletion of the oldest existing log file.
DebugLogging

Data type: BooleanQualifiers: [in]true if debug logging should be enabled. Debug logging is rarely used except for troubleshooting.

Return Values

A UInt32 data type that is 0 to indicate success or non-zero to indicate failure.

Remarks

This method manipulates registry keys. These keys should not be manipulated directly. However, for reference, these keys can be found at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/CCM/logging/@GLOBAL. Enabling debug logging with DebugLogging will result in the creation of a new key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/CCM/logging/debuglogging.
