Here's something that could be improved in the documentation. Because
the documentation is currently inconsistent on this point, I'm not sure
how to resolve it myself.

It looks like "log_level" and "debuglevel" are used interchangeably in
the documentation.

I think one should be chosen as a standard and the other eradicated.

Also, there is conflicting information about the what the allowed values
and the default is.

- in slon_tools.pm "-d2" is hardcoded. This should be an option, either
settable in slon_tools.conf, or on the command line with slon_start.

- mkslonconf.sh says valid values are from 0-4, with 4 being the
default, although the next line indicates maybe the default is 2:

# Debug log level (higher value ==> more output).  Range: [0,4], default 4
#log_level=2


- This page in the admin guide suggests that there are 8 levels of
logging, but they are given strings such as "error". No default is named
There . "debuglevel" and "log_level" are used interchangeably here.

- In slon.c, "debuglevel" is referenced, but the valid values are 1-4,
not 0-4.

Thanks,
