How to set the logging level for start? Currently it only shows info level logs. I want it to show debug as well

To enable debug level logging in LiveKit, you can use the

setLogLevel

function with the argument "debug" like this:

Copy code

setLogLevel("debug")

This will allow your logs to include debug-level details in addition to info and other higher severity levels. This applies both to general SDK usage and React Native SDK. The available log levels are: "trace", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", and "silent". Setting to "debug" provides more detailed output than "info".

Hey there! 👋 Debugging can be tricky, but I've got a super helpful tip for you when working with the LiveKit Python SDK. Want to see what's happening under the hood? You can easily set the logging level to DEBUG using the command-line interface. Just use the --log-level DEBUG option like this:

Copy code

python -m livekit.agents.cli start --log-level DEBUG

This will give you all those juicy, detailed debug logs for the "start" command. And guess what? You've got several logging levels to choose from: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL. Think of it like turning up the volume on your app's information. Here's a full example to get you started with debug logs:

Copy code

python -m livekit.agents.cli start --url your_url_here --api-key your_key_here --api-secret your_secret_here --log-level DEBUG

This will show you way more details compared to the default info level. Happy debugging! 🕵️‍♀️ Sources: livekit.agents.cli.log API documentation
