An object that contains information about logging. Use when the SampleApp isn't working as expected.

To enable DEBUG logging, build the SDK with the CMake parameter -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG. By default the SDK builds with the RELEASE build.

There are 14 levels of logging. DEBUG9 provides the highest level of logging and CRITICAL provides the lowest level of logging. For example, if you specific DEBUG9 as the logging level, the sample app displays all logs ranging from DEBUG9 and below. If you specify a logging level of CRITICAL, the sample app only displays CRITICAL logs.

The 14 levels are: DEBUG9, DEBUG8, DEBUG7, DEBUG6, DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1, DEBUG0, INFO, WARN, ERROR, CRITICAL.

To selectively see the logging for a particular module, you can specify logging level in this json file. For example, the following example sets a log level for acl and mediaplayer
"acl":{ "logLevel":"DEBUG9" }, "mediaPlayer":{ "logLevel":"INFO" }
