I am trying to enable debug logging on an InfluxDB 1.8.2 server. I have set the following in my influxdb.conf file [logging] level = "debug" However, every single line written to influxdb.log says level=info I see no level=debug lines at all. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Oh, I follow. I might not be seeing any “debug” messages because influxdb simply doesn’t have any to emit. That is unfortunate, but it would explain what I am seeing. Thanks!

Logging level=debug ignored
