Each Redpanda broker has many loggers, and each can be individually changed. Any change to a logger persists for a limited amount of time, so as to ensure you do not accidentally enable debug logging permanently. It is optional to specify a logger; if you do not, this command will prompt from the set of available loggers. The special logger all enables all loggers. Alternatively, you can specify many loggers at once. To see all possible loggers, run the following command: redpanda --help-loggers This command accepts loggers that it does not know of to ensure you can independently update your redpanda installations from rpk. The success or failure of enabling each logger is individually printed.
