9 Sets logging levels. Without any \fIspec\fR, sets the log level for
10 every module and facility to \fBdbg\fR. Otherwise, \fIspec\fR is a
11 list of words separated by spaces or commas or colons, up to one from
16 A valid module name, as displayed by the \fBvlog/list\fR command on
17 \fBovs\-appctl\fR(8), limits the log level change to the specified
21 \fBsyslog\fR, \fBconsole\fR, or \fBfile\fR, to limit the log level
22 change to only to the system log, to the console, or to a file,
26 \fBoff\fR, \fBemer\fR, \fBerr\fR, \fBwarn\fR, \fBinfo\fR, or
27 \fBdbg\fR, to control the log level. Messages of the given severity
28 or higher will be logged, and messages of lower severity will be
29 filtered out. \fBoff\fR filters out all messages. See
30 \fBovs\-appctl\fR(8) for a definition of each log level.
34 Case is not significant within \fIspec\fR.
36 Regardless of the log levels set for \fBfile\fR, logging to a file
37 will not take place unless \fB\-\-log\-file\fR is also specified (see
40 For compatibility with older versions of OVS, \fBany\fR is accepted as
41 a word but has no effect.
44 .IQ "\fB\-\-verbose\fR"
45 Sets the maximum logging verbosity level, equivalent to
46 \fB\-\-verbose=ANY:ANY:dbg\fR.

52 .IP "\fB\-vPATTERN:\fIfacility\fB:\fIpattern\fR"
53 .IQ "\fB\-\-verbose=PATTERN:\fIfacility\fB:\fIpattern\fR"
54 Sets the log pattern for \fIfacility\fR to \fIpattern\fR. Refer to
55 \fBovs\-appctl\fR(8) for a description of the valid syntax for \fIpattern\fR.
59 \fB\-\-log\-file\fR[\fB=\fIfile\fR]
60 Enables logging to a file. If \fIfile\fR is specified, then it is
61 used as the exact name for the log file. The default log file name
62 used if \fIfile\fR is omitted is \fB@LOGDIR@/\*(PN.log\fR.
