Hi @nononame2021 ,

You can ignore what you found. It is a backward compatibility setting.
Current SSIS logging is a run-time configuration settings for the SSIS Catalog on a server, not during development.
All logging events are automatically saved to the SSISDB database.

Available logging levels:

• None Logging is turned off. Only the package execution status is logged.
• Basic All events are logged, except custom and diagnostic events. This is the default value.
• RuntimeLineage Collects the data required to track lineage information in the data flow. You can parse this lineage information to map the lineage relationship between tasks. ISVs and developers can build custom lineage mapping tools with this information.
• Performance Only performance statistics, and OnError and OnWarning events, are logged.
• Verbose All events are logged, including custom and diagnostic events.

Hi @nononame2021 ,

SQL Server Integration Services includes log providers that you can use to implement logging in packages, containers, and tasks. With logging, you can capture run-time information about a package, helping you audit and troubleshoot a package every time it is run. For example, a log can capture the name of the operator who ran the package and the time the package began and finished.

Frequently, the logging options of tasks and For Loop, Foreach Loop, and Sequence containers match those of the package or a parent container. In that case, you can configure them to inherit their logging options from their parent container. For example, in a For Loop container that includes an Execute SQL task, the Execute SQL task can use the logging options that are set on the For Loop container. To use the parent logging options, you set the LoggingMode property of the container to UseParentSetting.
