From utility/log.h:

#define LOG_FATAL   0
#define LOG_ERROR   1           /* non-fatal errors */
#define LOG_NORMAL  2
#define LOG_VERBOSE 3           /* not shown by default */
#define LOG_DEBUG   4           /* suppressed unless DEBUG defined;
                                   may be enabled on file/line basis */

You can show more log messages by changing the debug level (-d server
invocation command line option).
