Chef Client finished, 1/1 resources updated in 2.308460088 seconds
During your
chef-client
run, the following output indicates that “Hello, this is an import-
ant message.” was written to the log for the Chef run:
log[Hello, this is an important message.] action write
To actually see the log message, you need to change the
chef-client
log level. Every mes-
sage written to the log has severity level. The levels, in order of priority from lowest to
highest, are
debug
,
info
,
warn
,
error
, and
fatal
. The
log
resource uses the
info
level as a
default, which is appropriate for your “Hello” message. However,
chef-client
only prints
out messages of severity
warn
or greater unless you change the
chef-client
log level.
To change the log level, use the
--log_level
option. The
--log_level
option takes a para-
meter (
--log_level
<level>), changing the lowest level severity messages
chef-client
will write to its log. If you add the option
--log_level info
to your
chef-client
com-
mand line, it will display the log message you just added. Try that now:
[vagrant@default-centos65 learningchef]$
chef-client --local-mode hello.rb \
--log_level info
