75 The second argument determines the level of logging.
76 Log levels above are listed in the order of increasing severity.
77 Setting a certain log level will cause all messages of
78 the specified and more severe log levels to be logged.
79 For example, the default level <value>error</value> will
80 cause <value>error</value>, <value>crit</value>,
81 <value>alert</value>, and <value>emerg</value> messages
82 to be logged.
83 <note>
84 For <value>debug</value> logging to work, nginx needs to
85 be configured with <code>--with-debug</code>.
