Fields

Name	Value	Description
Quiet	0	The most minimal output
Minimal	1	Relatively little output

Detailed	3	Relatively verbose, but not exhaustive
Diagnostic	4	The most verbose and informative verbosity

Remarks

The level of detail (i.e. verbosity) of an event log is entirely controlled by the logger generating the log -- a logger will be directed to keep its verbosity at a certain level, based on user preferences, but a logger is free to choose the events it logs for each verbosity level.

LOGGING GUIDELINES FOR EACH VERBOSITY LEVEL: 1) Quiet -- only display a summary at the end of build 2) Minimal -- only display errors, warnings, high importance events and a build summary 3) Normal -- display all errors, warnings, high importance events, some status events, and a build summary 4) Detailed -- display all errors, warnings, high and normal importance events, all status events, and a build summary 5) Diagnostic -- display all events, and a build summary
