Simple question,

How can we modify the loglevel of a node?

I’ve been searching the docs with little luck, but I’m sure that there is a parameter to modify the log level being printed. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I managed to find the solution also for docker-compose. It’s quite simple:

> version: ‘3’  
> services:  
> storagenode:  
> image: storjlabs/storagenode:beta  
> restart: unless-stopped  
> ports:  
> - 28967:28967  
> volumes:  
> - ./config/identity:/app/identity  
> - ./data:/app/config  
> environment:  
> - WALLET=0x123456789  
> - EMAIL=EMAIL  
> - ADDRESS=external.url:28967  
> - BANDWIDTH=10TB  
> - STORAGE=1TB  
> **- STORJ\_LOG\_LEVEL=info**

`BANDWIDTH` is deprecated and not used. I’m not sure that `STORJ_LOG_LEVEL` even work.

I can confirm `STORJ_LOG_LEVEL` is working

Good to know that about `BANDWIDTH`, I pasted an old docker-compose from someone else’s blog!
