A note about logging.

If you would like to see verbose information, you can use the
"loglevel" attribute in the config file. loglevel can be one of three
levels:

	1	very little information
	2	more information
	3	very extensive information

	Example, in the etc/unnoc.conf file, the following will set the
	loglevel to 3

	loglevel = 3

The higher the level, the more the output in the logfiles.

There are currently 7 logfiles available:

	log/unnoc.log
	log/mail.log
	log/action.log
	log/command.log
	log/system_status.log
	log/unnocd.log
	log/unnoc-cron.log

log/unnoc.log

	This the log file that will contain all of the major alarms:
	host up downs, process down, load average too high, etc.  This
	is also displayed on the window of the main index page


log/mail.log

	Added in 1.0.7

	Every email alert that gets sent from unnoc is logged here.


log/action.log

	Added in 1.0.7

	This is for any external command that gets excecuted.  All
	RRDTool debugging/output will be in this file.

	Increase loglevel to 2 or 3 for more output here


log/command.log

	Added in 1.0.7

	This will tell what unnoc is doing, it is a much more detailed
	version of unnoc.log, and will display both positive and
	negative aspects.  Very helpful for debugging a particular error
	message or problem.


log/system_status.log

	This is for the system status plugin.  It will display what
	email it sent to where and who requested it.

log/unnocd.log

	This is the unnoc daemon log files.  It will display all of the
	information/tasks that the unnoc daemon is doing. You can 
	increase verbosity by starting the daemon with the "-D" flag.
	Currently there are two settings:

		-D 1 - Some debugging information
		-D 2 - All debugging information

log/unnoc-cron.log

	This is the unnoc cron wrapper log file.  It will display all
	information about what the cron wrapper is actually doing.  You
	can increase the verbosity the same way that the unnoc daemon
	verbosity works with the "-D" flag.  Currently there are two
	settings:

		-D 1 - Some debugging information
		-D 2 - All debugging information
