Logging - Application

There are two different types of logs in OliveTin - application logs and action logs. This page is about the application logs, which are the logs that OliveTin itself generates. The action logs are the logs that are generated by the actions that you run in OliveTin.

OliveTin supports a few different log levels. The default logLevel is INFO.

You can set a logLevel in config.yaml like this;

config.yaml
logLevel: "INFO"

actions:
    ....

The supported log levels are;

  • DEBUG - Every possible log message will be shown. This will use a lot of disk space and is not recommended unless you are a developer / like reading code.

  • ERROR - OliveTin rarely uses the ERROR log level.

  • WARN - Very few messages, only warnings are shown.

  • INFO - The defualt log level.

You can change the logLevel while OliveTin is running, and it should update as soon as you save your config.yaml. You will always get a log message like this;
