[log_folder] - Location of log files, default: /var/log/pva
[etc_folder] - Location of config files, default: /var/opt/pva/mn/etc
To change the log level, find the vzagent.conf location in pva.conf, and change it to <log_level>. Once the log level is changed, restart pvamn
3 – INFO level
4 – DEBUG level
6 – DEBUG level with XML messages
NOTE: Do not forget to decrease the log level back to the original value once you have finished troubleshooting. Having a log level higher than 2 may cause rapid growth of log files, possibly filling up all free space on the disk and leading to data corruption and downtime
