[chef] Re: Chef client 12 - setting logging level

[Tyler Ball < >]

You want to set `node['chef_client']['config’][‘log_level’] = ‘info’` if you 
are using the cookbook - the ‘config’ section of attributes are directly 
dropped into the /etc/chef/client.rb file.  The 
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef-client#usage section shows some ;
examples of this.
