Log Levels

FastTransfer uses Serilog for logging and supports multiple log levels to control the verbosity of output. You can set the loglevel using the --loglevel parameter followed by a value in the list of available log levels.

Available Log Levels

Level	Description	Use Case
Verbose	Most detailed tracing information	Deep troubleshooting
Debug	Detailed diagnostic information	Development and troubleshooting
Information	General informational messages	Normal operation (default)
Warning	Potentially harmful situations	Issues that don't prevent operation
Error	Error events that allow continuation	Operation failures
Fatal	Severe errors causing termination	Fatal application errors

note

The --loglevel parameter accepts verbose, debug, information, warning and error. Fatal can only be set through the MinimumLevel property of the settings file.

Configuration

You can also configure the log level in the FastTransfer_Settings.json file by modifying the MinimumLevel property:

{
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": "Debug",
    "WriteTo": [
      {
        "Name": "Console",
        "Args": {
          "outputTemplate": "{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fff zzz} -|- {Application} -|- {runid} -|- {Level:u12} -|- {fulltargetname} -|- {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}"
        }
      },
      {
        "Name": "File",
        "Args": {
          "path": "Logs\\FastTransfer_.json",
          "rollingInterval": "Day"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
