I just looked into my PEQ `variables` table, and found this setting:
Code:
varname = loglevel
value = 1111
information = Commands,Merchants,Trades,Loot
ts = current time
This is something I changed long ago not knowing what I was doing and completely forgot. I have no clue what the "expected values" are, so I used 1's. Maybe this is why I am seeing more logging? You can check through the source and see if 0 and 1 are the only possible values for this option.
I am finding my logging in the \EQEmu\Logs folder. Here's a small example of tthe amount of logging I am getting:
eqemu_debug_zone_XXXX.log - These are obviously the largest files. If you have a lot of activity, these fill up fast. In one evening, we got one to 32mb. To me, this is one of the most valuable for troubleshooting.
Code:
[08.23. - 21:47:20] [SKILLS__GAIN] Skill 40 at value 252 cannot increase due to maxmum 200
eqemu_zone_XXXX.log files - this looks like normal zone traffic (note the log levels? that's what makes me think this `variables` setting is what's doing this)
Code:
[08.23. - 20:20:35] General logging level: 1
[08.23. - 20:20:35] Merchant logging level: 1
[08.23. - 20:20:35] Trade logging level: 1
[08.23. - 20:20:35] Loot logging level: 1
[08.23. - 20:20:35] ---- Zone server potranquility, listening on port:7009 ----
[08.23. - 20:20:35] Zone Bootup: potranquility (203)
eqemu_error_zone_XXXX.log - errors go here, apparently
Code:
[08.23. - 20:21:06] Inventory::_PutItem: Invalid slot_id specified (251)
[08.23. - 20:21:06] Warning: Invalid slot_id for item in inventory: charid=59, item_id=69110, slot_id=251
eqemu_quest_zone_XXXX.log - this looks like quest script related events
Code:
[08.22. - 17:21:55] Tying perl output to eqemu logs
[08.22. - 17:21:55] Creating EQEmuIO=HASH(0xe485e30)
eqemu_commands_zone_XXXX.log - this appears to be who did what # command in the zone
Code:
[08.23. - 19:56:48] Bigtank (myacct) used command: #showstats (target=Tallon_Zek00)
[08.23. - 19:56:55] Bigtank (myacct) used command: #invul 1 (target=Tallon_Zek00)
eqemu_debug_world.log - Looks like world startup, zone launch, shutdown stuff
Code:
[08.21. - 15:18:06] [WORLD__CONSOLE] New zoneserver #13 from 127.0.0.1:2440
[08.21. - 15:18:06] [WORLD__ZONE] [13] Zone started with name dynamic_10 by launcher zones
[08.21. - 15:18:06] [WORLD__ZONE] [13] Auto zone port configuration. Telling zone to use port 7012
[08.22. - 15:16:07] [WORLD__LS] Connecting to login server...
[08.22. - 15:16:07] [WORLD__LS] Connected to Loginserver: eqemulator.net:5998
eqemu_world_XXXX.log - very small, shows the startup
Code:
[08.22. - 17:20:57] Using database 'peq' at 192.168.1.30:3306
[08.22. - 17:20:57] EMuShareMem loaded
[08.22. - 17:20:57] Loading items from database: count=54308
Logs that are created that never appear to do much are the eqemu_dynamic_XXXX.log files. I rarely see them higher than 0kb in size (empty)

Sorry, I didn't think this was going to be so long. The only other log I have found is the zone-ecommons.log, where ecommons is the name if you set a zone as a Static launch. I'm sure to the oldbies, this is redundant, but new folks seem to be asking, and I am new and offering my assistance.
