and the server admin API toolkit that was posted on the resource center.
I've got things working, but not getting much information back as the server logs are set to Warning by default and my understanding is they need to be on FINE for these scripts to work effectively. So if I wanted to run a script say once a week to look at stats of my services and extents being panned to, I would have to keep the server logs on FINE at all times?
Would this cause a performance hit having the logs set to FINE and why is the default Warning?
Yes, you would need to keep the logging level set to FINE. This logs common messages from use of the server, like names of operation requests received. This level includes severe, warning, and info messages. See here.
This will not cause a significant performance hit, possibly none at all. The only logging level that is not recommended for a production environment is 'Debug' as this will cause a significant decrease in server performance.
