zl Module must devote more time to logging messages. The information setting
is particularly processor-intensive and could degrade the module’s perfor-
mance. As soon as you complete your troubleshooting, you should return the
severity level to its default setting of critical.
Log Throttling. Log throttling (which is enabled by default) prevents the
module from logging duplicate messages for the same event. Instead, the
module logs the first event but counts duplicate events without logging them.
The module sends a tally message that shows the number of duplicate events
after a certain count is reached or after a certain number of seconds have
passed since the first event (whichever comes first).
The default setting is 500 duplicate messages per 600 seconds, which means
that the TMS zl Module logs one message for an event per 600 seconds. It sends
a tally message with the number of duplicate events after 500 duplicate events
occur or (if 500 events are not reached) after 600 seconds.
When you first set up the TMS zl Module, you can change the default setting.
At first, you might want to receive a relatively high number of messages about
duplicate events; these messages should help you troubleshoot the module
and get an idea of how it functions. Later, you can set the values such that the
module logs only the number of tally messages that is helpful to you.
Configure Log Settings. To configure log settings, follow these steps:
1. Click System > Logging and click the Settings tab.
Figure 2-36. System > Logging > Settings Window
2. From the list, select the lowest severity level of the events that you want
the module to log.
