Enabling log verbosity

You can enable a more verbose output by passing the BUILD_LOGLEVEL environment variable as part of the sourceStrategy in a BuildConfig.

Note

An administrator can set the default build verbosity for the entire {product-title} instance by configuring env/BUILD_LOGLEVEL. This default can be overridden by specifying BUILD_LOGLEVEL in a given BuildConfig. You can specify a higher priority override on the command line for non-binary builds by passing --build-loglevel to oc start-build.

Available log levels for Source builds are as follows:

Level 0	Produces output from containers running the assemble script and all encountered errors. This is the default.
Level 1	Produces basic information about the executed process.
Level 2	Produces very detailed information about the executed process.
Level 3	Produces very detailed information about the executed process, and a listing of the archive contents.
Level 4	Currently produces the same information as level 3.
Level 5	Produces everything mentioned on previous levels and additionally provides docker push messages.

Procedure

To enable more verbose output, pass the BUILD_LOGLEVEL environment variable as part of the sourceStrategy or dockerStrategy in a BuildConfig:

sourceStrategy:
...
  env:
    - name: "BUILD_LOGLEVEL"
      value: "2" (1)

1. Adjust this value to the desired log level.
