HistoryLevel (Camunda Platform Javadocs 7.18.15-ee)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractHistoryLevel, HistoryLevelActivity, HistoryLevelAudit, HistoryLevelFull, HistoryLevelNone
```
public interface HistoryLevel
```
The history level controls what kind of data is logged to the history database. More formally, it controls which history events are produced by the HistoryEventProducer.

Built-in history levels: The process engine provides a set of built-in history levels as default configuration. The built-in history levels are:
This class provides singleton instances of these history levels as constants.

Custom history levels:In order to implement a custom history level, the following steps are necessary:
- Provide a custom implementation of this interface. Note: Make sure you choose unique values for getName() and getId()
- Add an instance of the custom implementation through ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl.setCustomHistoryLevels(java.util.List)
- use the name of your history level (as returned by getName() as value for ProcessEngineConfiguration.setHistory(String)

- Method Detail
  - getId
```
int getId()
```
    An unique id identifying the history level. The id is used internally to uniquely identify the history level and also stored in the database.
  - getName
```
java.lang.String getName()
```
    An unique name identifying the history level. The name of the history level can be used when configuring the process engine.
  - isHistoryEventProduced
```
boolean isHistoryEventProduced(HistoryEventType eventType,
                               java.lang.Object entity)
```
    Returns true if a given history event should be produced.
    
    Parameters:
    
    eventType - the type of the history event which is about to be produced
    
    entity - the runtime structure used to produce the history event. Examples ExecutionEntity, TaskEntity, VariableInstanceEntity, ... If a 'null' value is provided, the implementation should return true if events of this type should be produced "in general".
