178 Chapter 8 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 argument, messages will not
be written to standard output. Log files, however, will still be created.
Valid message types are described in the following table:
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 which 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" may wind up as 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.
