BDS writes all logs to the standard output. 

Viewing logs

1. Execute the following command to get the pod name:

   kubectl -n bds get po

   NAME                             READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
   
   bds-t2023-2023-1624633200-w8nh5  0/1     Completed  0          34m

   Where the NAME string is composed of the following elements: bds-t<tenant id>-<tenant id>-<job start linux time>-<random value>

2. Execute the following command to check the logs:

   kubectl logs bds-pod-<name>

   Where <name> is the pod name.

   For example:

   kubectl logs bds-pod-wn8bx

Setting the log level

Optionally, you can set the log level using the BDS_LOG_LEVEL environment variable. Acceptable values are:

CRITICAL, 50, ERROR, 40, WARNING, 30, INFO, 20, DEBUG, 10,NOTSET, 0.

If you do not set a value, BDS reads the default value from gvars.py. If gvars.py contains no value, BDS uses the default value (DEBUG).
