Debugging and logging are different things: logging is more used to avoid
problems, that could have happened in the past, while debugging is for
reproducing problems in order to resolve them.
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/runningslapd.html#Command-Line%20Options
says -d sets the debug level, and 'Note: slapd must have been compiled with
--enable-debug defined for any debugging information beyond the two stats levels
to be available (the default).'
Is --enable-debug passed by default, unless one calls --disable-debug, or are
the two stats levels combined as 256 | 512 the default debug level?
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/troubleshooting.html#Debugging%20{{slapd}}(8)says
that 256 is a good firstlevel, not stating whether this is the default or needs
to be set explicitly.
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/tuning.html#Logging says the default log
level is 256, but does not state how to change it.
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html#Global%20Directives
presents the same table, as the first link I mentioned here, but calls it
'logging debugging statements' and while the directive is 'loglevel', the table
is called 'debugging levels'. It says further:
Default:
loglevel stats
Basic stats logging is configured by default. However, if no loglevel is
defined, no logging occurs (equivalent to a 0 level).
- Does this mean, that no logging occurs, when the loglevel directive is
missing, and when it is present without value, the value is stats/256?
Likewise for https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#cn=config .
- Please clarify on every place, where loglevel is mentioned, that the default
is 256/stats.
- Either use only the term debugging in the whole documentation, or only the
term logging, or if both terms are used, clarify the difference between them
