- Incorrect path or insufficient privilege to create the file,
- Unconfigured property or properties, or
- Misconfigured property value.

Syntax

Description
Virtual machine logging messages are arranged into levels to make messages more relevant and reduce log file size. The severity property controls which level messages are included in the logging output. The list below lists these levels from most to least verbose. Setting logging to a specific level also includes all levels below it. For example, setting severity to warning ensures that error and fatal are also included in the output and other levels are not.
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
debug | Debug and all lower level messages are logged. |
info | Informational and all lower level messages are logged. |
warning | Warning and all lower level messages are logged. |
error | Error and all lower level messages are logged. |
fatal | Only fatal error messages are logged. |
