Logging options


Contents [Hide]



The Verity Spider logging options are:

-loglevel

Syntax

-loglevel [nostdout] argument

Specifies the types of messages to log. By default, messages are written to standard output and to various log files in the subdirectory named /log beneath the Verity Spider job directory. If you add nostdout to the -loglevel option, messages are not written to standard output. Log files, however, are still created.

The following table describes valid message types:
