Cant Set logLevel for kubernetes Deployment

[tmedford]

I may be missing something but I cant see anyway to set the log level of weave-npc or weave via ENV vars for kuberentes deployment.

It’s a command-line argument —log-level

Please can you provide more context why you specifically need an environment variable.

We do not document how to change the log levels at https://www.weave.works/docs/net/latest/kubernetes/kube-addon/.

For weave, you can pass --log-level=... via the EXTRA_ARGS env arg.

I'd like to address this, but I want to be completely clear on what's being asked. I followed the link in the comment above but found the following:

By default log level of weave container is set to info level. If you wish to see more detailed logs you can set the desired log level for the -log-level flag through the EXTRA_ARGS environment variable for the weave container in the weave-net daemon set. Add environment variable as below. and an example:

containers:
- command:
- /home/weave/launch.sh
name: weave
env:
- name: EXTRA_ARGS
value: --log-level=debug

The comment says we do not document how to change it. I'm a bit confused. Can someone clarify exactly what needs to be fixed?

#3391 added the documentation which should have closed this issue. But as you already linked this issue to #3594 with extra details its fine.
