Summary

Is there any way to increase or decrease the lmgrd and vendor daemon's log verbosity?

Question

Can you increase / decrease the license server's log file verbosity? The available documentation only refers to the FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS envrionment variable, which affects the client side only.

Answer

You can increase the vendor log verbosity by adding any needed API calls, but you can't decrease the verbosity (the default output is hardcoded by design to enable predictive readability). The FLEXLM_DIAGNOSTICS environment variable actually turns on client logging on a per-job basis (so you wouldn't want to enable that unless you were actually debugging a problem, as it'll create a lot of junk on your client rather quickly otherwise).
