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):
Ex:
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 at $VOYENCE_HOME/conf to know the logging level set:


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