Thanks for the reply Steven,

I did that too.. on my chef-server

/opt/chef-server/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.4.0/lib/chef/knife/core/bootstrap_context.rb

---- snip -------------

def config_content
client_rb = <<-CONFIG
log_level        :info
log_location     STDOUT
chef_server_url  " :chef_server_url]}"
validation_client_name " :validation_client_name]}"
-----------------------

But still client.rb on bootstrapped machine shows as

:/etc# cat chef/client.rb
log_level        :auto
log_location     STDOUT
chef_server_url  "https://chefserver.nvsd.com/"
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
node_name "controllernode.nvsd.com"

:/etc#

Regards,

Shyam.

Hi Shyam

With knife bootstrap there is no option to set log level. I don't see why it would default to 'WARN' though.. 

You could alway edit /opt/chef-server/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.4.0/lib/chef/knife/core/bootstrap_context.rb on your server, but I would not recommend it.

Thanks for the reply Luis.

"chef-client --log-level info" needs to be run from Client Machine (Bootstrapped Machine) ?

I want to see the detailed execution logs while bootstrapping from workstation, right now it seems the log_level is auto in 11.4.4 ( which is converted as "WARN" ).
While bootstrapping is there any way i can see the chef logs like "--log-level: info"

Do "chef-client --help" and look for log level. I believe is "--loglevel info".

That way you set the option at run time.

Hello All,

I want to set chef_client log_level to Info while bootstrapping. Right now i see it is set to :auto in client.rb.

I believe client.rb is pushed from chef-server to client right ? What config files on chef-server needs to be modified for changing the default log_level ?

:/etc# chef-client -v
Chef: 11.4.4

:/etc# cat chef/client.rb
log_level        :auto
log_location     STDOUT
chef_server_url  "https://chefserver.nvsd.com/"
validation_client_name "chef-validator"
node_name "controllernode.nvsd.com

Thanks in advance.
