Depending on logging levels enabled, the logs will be more/less verbose. 

Environment

Resolution

1) If you have entries like below in autodisc.log or commmgr.log file locate at $VOYENCE_HOME/logs, the logging level is set to default(0-2):

Jun 22 10:32:23 :1085331776/locator#1: ------  Sub-thread ad,0a1f899208a6e53f89a57b7655010000#100010 - 0a1f899208a6e53f89a57b7655010000#100010 #1085331776 terminated
Jun 22 10:32:24 :-63163904#2: Loading changed config...
Jun 22 10:32:24 :-63163904#2: Loading changed config...done

2) Log levels indicate severity; level 1 is least verbose and 9 the most. The number after the hash as highlighted above indicates the current logging level. 

3) You can also refer logs.cfg file to know the logging level set, and those are available at:

$VOYENCE_HOME/conf

The highlighted text in screenshot indicates the log level. The entries with # in this file are comments.
