Log Level

BOMnipotent Client offers several severity levels of logs:

  • error
  • warn
  • info (default)
  • debug
  • trace

They can be selected via:

Input (long variant)
bomnipotent_client --log-level=<LEVEL> <COMMAND>
Input (short variant)
bomnipotent_client -l <LEVEL> <COMMAND>

This defines the minimum severity level for a message to be logged: Choosing log level debug makes BOMnipotent print all messages of severity error, warn, info and debug, but not trace.

By default, BOMnipotent Client logs messages to stdout, regardless of severity level. You can instruct it to log to a file instead.

Info, Warn and Error

The default log-level is info. It prints some information, but does not overwhelm the user.

Output

Debug

The debug output mode prints some additional information which may be of interest when looking for the cause of an error in the input or setup:

Input (long variant)
bomnipotent_client --log-level=debug health | tail -n 10
Input (short variant)
bomnipotent_client -l debug health | tail -n 10
Output
[DEBUG] Not resuming

Trace

In output mode trace, BOMnipotent prints everything it finds even the slightest bit interesting. This is mainly useful for finding the cause of an error in the program itself.

Input (long variant)
bomnipotent_client --log-level=trace health | grep "TRACE" | head -n 10
Input (short variant)
bomnipotent_client -l trace health | grep "TRACE" | head -n 10
Output
