Syntax conventions Description
UPPERCASE Literal keyword.
Lowercase Not literal.

component
The following values are valid for the log components qualifier:
  • bootstrap
  • compaction

  • streaming
level
If class qualifier and level arguments to the command are empty or null, logging levels are reset to the initial configuration.
The valid values for setting the log level include ALL for logging information at all levels, TRACE through ERROR, and OFF for no logging. TRACE creates the most verbose log, and ERROR, the least.
  • ALL
  • TRACE
  • DEBUG
  • INFO (Default)

Note: When set to TRACE or DEBUG output appears only in the debug.log. When set to INFO the debug.log is disabled.

nodetool setlogginglevel org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy DEBUG
Note: Extended logging for compaction is supported and requires table configuration. The extended compaction logs are stored in a separate file.
