To control the output of log files and better understand the operating status of the database, modify specific configuration parameters in the gaussdb.conf file in the instance data directory.

Table 1 describes the adjustable configuration parameters.

**Table 1** Configuration parameters

client_min_messages	Level of messages to be sent to clients.	DEBUG5 DEBUG4 DEBUG3 DEBUG2 DEBUG1 LOG NOTICE WARNING ERROR FATAL PANIC Default value: NOTICE	Messages of the set level or lower will be sent to clients. The lower the level is, the fewer the messages will be sent.

log_min_duration_statement	Minimum execution duration of a statement. If the execution duration of a statement is equal to or longer than the set milliseconds, the statement and its duration will be recorded in logs. Enabling this function can help you track the query attempts to be optimized.	INT type. Default value: –1. Unit: millisecond	The value –1 indicates that the function is disabled. Only a system administrator is allowed to modify this parameter.
