px pxb set loglevel

Set the log level of the px-backup server.

This command changes the server's logging verbosity level. The log level controls how much detail is included in server logs:

• TRACE: Most verbose, includes all debug information and function traces
• DEBUG: Detailed information for debugging purposes
• INFO: General information about server operations (default)

The change takes effect immediately and affects all server components.

Examples:

# Set log level to DEBUG for detailed troubleshooting
pxb set loglevel DEBUG

# Set log level to TRACE for maximum verbosity
pxb set loglevel TRACE

# Set log level back to INFO (normal operation)
pxb set loglevel INFO

# Set log level with JSON output
pxb set loglevel DEBUG --output json
