Logging Levels

Version 2.6.9
Platform Linux

Is there a way to change logging level or is everything logged?

I have an issue using the API where a note I am trying to create is hanging forever on the post rest call and can not figure out why

You can change the log level of the desktop application use the --log-level flag in flags.txt.

You can see instructions for doing that here.

# How to enable debugging

It is possible to get the apps to display or log more information that might help debug various issues.

## Desktop application

If the application starts with a white screen, open **Help &gt; Toggle Development Tools** in the menu. Then check in the console if there is any error or warning and please let us know about it.

Otherwise, follow these instructions:

- Click on menu **Help &gt; Open Profile Directory** and add a file named "flags.txt" in your directory with the following content: `--open-dev-tools --debug --log-level debug`
- Restart the application
- The development tools should now be opened. Click the "Console" tab
- Now repeat the action that was causing problem. The console might output warnings or errors - please add them to the GitHub issue. Also open log.txt in the config folder and if there is any error or warning, please also add them to the issue.

## CLI application

- Start the app with `joplin --debug --log-level debug`
- Check log.txt as specified above for the desktop application and attach the log to the GitHub issue (or just the warnings/errors if any). The profile directory would be in `~/.config/joplin`.
