Set the agent log level

Configure the agent log level directly from your ServiceNow® instance, without needing to access the acc.yml configuration file.

About this task

Configuring the agent log level from the instance changes the log level temporarily, and doesn’t update the log level in the acc.yml configuration file. When restarting the agent, the log level reverts to its status as set in the acc.yml configuration file.
