# To Increase Verbosity of Logging
Increasing the verbosity of logging can be essential for troubleshooting and monitoring the performance of your systems. This article will guide you through the steps to enhance logging levels for specific components within your application.
### Understanding Logging Levels
If a `.txt` file exists in the `\LogFiles` directory, it is likely that there is a corresponding registry entry that controls the logging level for that file. For instance, if you have a log file named `Syslog.txt`, you can adjust its verbosity by modifying the `SyslogLogLevel` DWORD in the Windows Registry.
### Example of Modifying the Registry
To increase the logging level for Syslog, follow these steps:
1. **Open the Registry Editor**: Type `regedit` in the Windows search bar and press Enter.
2. **Navigate to the Key**: Go to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\NetLatency\SwitchMonitor`.
3. **Create a New DWORD**: Right-click in the right pane, select `New`, and then choose `DWORD (32-bit) Value`.
4. **Name the DWORD**: Enter `SyslogLogLevel` as the name of the new DWORD.
5. **Set the Value**: Double-click on `SyslogLogLevel` and set its value to `3`. This level typically indicates a more detailed logging output.
### Important Notes
- **No Service Restart Required**: After making this change, you do not need to restart the service. The new logging level will take effect during the next polling cycle.
- **Reviewing Logs**: To see the effects of your changes, navigate to the `\LogFiles` directory and open `Syslog.txt`. You should now see more detailed logging information that can help you diagnose issues or monitor system performance.
