1. A processor-implemented method for adjusting a filtering mechanism within a trace logging system, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, a plurality of messages from a software program, wherein each of the plurality of messages includes a message logging level; storing the plurality of received messages in a buffer; storing a portion of the plurality of received messages in a trace log within a database based on the message logging level associated with each of the plurality of received messages; determining that an error has occurred within the software program; identifying each of the plurality of stored messages in the buffer that aid in debugging the determined error; determining that less than all of the plurality of identified messages are stored within the trace log based on comparing the plurality of identified messages with the stored portion; and updating an alert status configuration based on the message logging level associated with each of the plurality of identified messages.
