## Configure logging

Messages are written to the log files based on the log levels that are defined in the application configuration files. Log levels include WARN, DEBUG, INFO, and ERROR.

You can change log levels using the Service Virtualization configuration files:

- Service Virtualization Server configuration file:

  %[INSTALLLOCATION]%\Server\bin\HP.SV.StandaloneServer.exe.config

- Designer configuration file:

  %[INSTALLLOCATION]%\Designer\bin\VirtualServiceDesigner.exe.config

Changes made to the logging configuration are effective immediately, and do not require an application restart. To disable the ability to make changes without restarting the application, locate the following line in the configuration file and set the value to False:

<add key="log4net.Config.Watch" value="True"/>
