Using IVM, you can control how various types of Ingres error log messages are handled. The Define Message Categories and Notification Levels dialog lets you specify which messages in the errlog.log must be discarded, which are displayed normally in IVM, and which trigger a special alert. This dialog also allows you to group messages according to user-defined categories, which can be handled as a group for discard, display or alert.

To access the Define Message Categories and Notification Levels dialog, click the Categories and Notification Levels toolbar button, or choose File, Categories and Notification Levels. For information on using this dialog, see the Visual Manager online help.
