verbose

Recommended for setup and troubleshooting.

log_level: verbose

Displays detailed information about the configured and connected cameras, plus their capabilities.
Turn off when not needed.

debug

For debugging only.

log_level: debug

Includes all 'verbose' information, plus startup parameters (and defaults) and streamer output.
Use only for debugging and turn off when not needed.

Note

Once configured, consider setting log_level to quiet to minimize disk usage.

delete_log¶

Default: false

If set to true, the existing log file will be deleted every time Crowsnest restarts.
This can help diagnose issues, as the log will contain only information from the latest restart.

delete_log: true

Tip

This is useful if you ask for help in Discord Forums. Please be prepared to upload your logfile.

no_proxy¶

Default: false

If set to true, this forces all streamers to listen on all available network interfaces.

no_proxy: true

This is useful if you want to use Crowsnest in 'standalone' mode. It is not recommended if you used MainsailOS or KIAUH for setup.
