Configuring a diagnostic logging category
A configuration change in the default Simple view applies to all categories of logging. In the default Simple view, Category does not appear in Diagnostic logging.
Advanced view—Server Configuration Templates—Settings supports changing diagnostic logging for specific types of logs. If the administrator configures one logging type differently from the others in Advanced view, Category appears in Simple view, as shown in
Figure 1‑11.
