Value

none, app, error, warning, info or debug

See also

--quiet, --verbose, --debug, OPENGREP_LOG_SRCS, OPENGREP_LOG_TAGS, OPENGREP_LOG_FILE

The level of the log messages that Opengrep writes to standard error, and to the file named by OPENGREP_LOG_FILE when it is set. The variable takes precedence over the level set by --quiet, --verbose or --debug. Invalid values are ignored.

Several variables set the level. The first one set to a valid value takes precedence, in this order: PYTEST_OPENGREP_LOG_LEVEL, OPENGREP_LOG_LEVEL, PYTEST_SEMGREP_LOG_LEVEL, SEMGREP_LOG_LEVEL. The PYTEST_ names are meant for test runners.
