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:

arguments except skip.

arguments, except summary.
