Logging options

The following sections describe the Verity Spider logging options.

-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:

Message type	Description
information	Licensing information written to info.log. Included with all arguments.
warning	Warning messages written to warning.log. Included with all arguments.
error	Error messages written to error.log. Included with all arguments.
badkey	Messages regarding keys that could not be indexed due to invalid documents, written to badkey.log. Included with all arguments.
progress	Current state of a document key written to progress.log. Note that a key with a progress of "inserting" might be a badkey and therefore skipped, rather than an indexed key. Included with all arguments.
summary	Inserted, indexed, and ignored messages written to summary.log. Included with all arguments except skip.
skip	Skipped documents, with explanation, written to skip.log. Included with all arguments, except summary.
debug	Internal Verity Spider processing messages, such as enqueued, written to debug.log. Included with both debug and trace arguments.
trace	Internal Verity Spider processing messages written to debug.log. Included only with the trace argument.
