+
+Um den Datenträger, auf dem Boswatch läuft, zu schützen ist das Logging in
+Dateien standartmäßig auf Fehlermeldungen begrenzt.
+In den Dateien `logger_client.ini` bzw `logger_server.ini` kann dies
+entsprechend im Bereich `handler_file` unter `level=` angepasst werden.

+Das Schreiben einer Statistik-Datei, welche die Durchläufe aller Module
+und Plugins dokumentiert, kann in der Server-Konfiguration über den Parameter
+`logging` aktiviert werden.
