Monitoring levels

The monitoring levels 0-3 build on each other. Level 0 only logs changes to the monitoring level itself.[1[from Scout Enterprise Management Suite15 2101]] At each level further activities are added. Logging with monitoring level 3 is the most detailed.
Note:
Use monitoring level 3 only temporarily for diagnostic purposes, since all database transactions are additionally logged.
