Oh, so basically, my read on levels
confirms what Kevin posted. J

I’d answer this question two ways:
1) Our general answer to this for all of the ntds diagnostics logging
values is “none”, “a bit”, “a good amt”,
“a lot”, “a whole lot”, “yowsers” J
Because there is so much logging throughout for each reg value, it’d be
very hard to summarize every entry you get for every value in that key. There
is no doc of any sort that summarizes what you get with each level in each reg
value.
2) Field engineering is a bit easier, just because it is not weaved in
so many places in the code.
Most of the logging for field engineering really gets kicked on when
you’re set to 5. My quick read of the logging section for levels tells me
that sev_verbose will only get you some summary data, the every-search-filter
spew comes with sev_internal. Just took a quick glance at the search stuff, I
didn’t look all over, but that’s what it looks like at first
glance.
So basically, use sev_internal for field
engineering. J

I saw an article showing what you would
get if set to 4 or 5 but not specifically 3. I always look at those levels as superfluous.
If I need to get info I crank it up get what I need and crank it back down. I
guess if you have to leave it running for a while 3 would be an option.
·
DS_EVENT_SEV_VERBOSE
To log a message about the number of
expensive and inefficient search operations performed in the last collection period, set the
Field Engineering logging severity level to 4 (DS_EVENT_SEV_VERBOSE).
·
DS_EVENT_SEV_INTERNAL
To log a message about the number of
expensive and inefficient search operations performed in individual searches, set the Field Engineering logging severity level
to 5 (DS_EVENT_SEV_INTERNAL). This event logs the exact filter used for each
search operation that was expensive or inefficient, immediately after any expensive
or inefficient search completes.

Hello,
Has
anyone out there found a book or a web site that contains a comprehensive list
of what each of the NTDS debug levels will show you. I'd like to know
what information will be revealed if Field Engineering is set to 3 for example.
