Table A-2 lists the possible log levels and the output stream (stdout or stderr) for each message type at various log levels.

Table A-2 Output Streams for Message Types at Various Log Levels

Log Level	Error Messages	Warning Messages	Information Messages	Confirmation Messages
quiet	stderr	None	None	None
brief (default)	stderr	stderr	stdout	stdout
verbose	stderr	stderr	stdout	stdout

Example

java -jar jrockitve-imagetool.jar -r app/vm.cfg get vm-name -l verbose

This command causes the following log messages to be displayed while the Image Tool retrieves the name of the virtual machine.

[INFO  image.tool             ] Synchronizing the image ...
[INFO  image.tool             ] Done
default-vm

When you run the same command with the brief or quiet log level instead, only the virtual machine name is printed.
