Verbosity/Logging

[Thomas Müller]

Dear experts,

I need to find some debug output while running go.py, which I previously
did with -v 3, for example. Now I see these options

> -v, --verbose Give detailed information during run
> (use multiple times to increase verbosity)
> -l, --logging <opt> Specify logger and log level using
> "<logger>:<level>"
> (<level>: ERROR, CRITICAL, WARNING,
> INFO..INFO3, DEBUG...DEBUG3)

but it is not clear what to specify for <logger>. Could somebody please
let me know the possible options there or point me to the relevant
documentation? Thanks.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi,

-v increases the global verbosity

--logging can increase the global verbosity, but also allows to filter, which logging messages should be shown

--logging can increase the global verbosity (the same way as -vvvvvvvv) by using

--logging DEBUG3

After increasing the verbosity with "-vvvv" you get this for example

xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx - classloader.report:DEBUG - Successfully loaded class

If you are only interested in "classloader.report" DEBUG messages, one should use

--logging classloader.report:DEBUG

There is no full list of available loggers yet (since the logger is usually found as described above), but a quick grep+sed through the source code for getLogger calls gives these loggers:

backend

classloader

config

console - this logger is used for user output and can be used to silence grid-control on the command line

jobs

logging

matcher

parameters

process - this can give information about all external commands

report

requests

task

thread_pool

webservice

workflow

Cheers,

Fred
