Log Method

The Log method of the SPGlobalAdmin class creates a log that indicates the severity of a problem in the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services deployment and provides details.

Parameters

iSeverity   A 32-bit integer that specifies the level of severity to report in the log.

strMessage   A string that contains the description used in the log for the specified severity.

Remarks

The Log method logs to a text file in %temp%\Process_Name.log. For instance, stsadm.exe internally calls SPGlobalAdmin.Log(), which results in %temp%\stsadm.log being created.

The following table shows the possible values that can be passed in the iSeverity parameter.
