+:FeatureName: Changing the CVO log level
+include::snippets/technology-preview.adoc[]
+
+The Cluster Version Operator (CVO) log level verbosity can be changed by the cluster administrator. There are four log levels.
+
+* `Normal` - The default log level. Contains working log information. Used when everything is fine. Provides helpful notices for auditing or common operations.
+* `Debug` - Used when something goes wrong. Expect a higher quantity of notices.
+* `Trace` - Used to diagnose errors.
+* `TraceAll` - Used to get the complete body content of the logs.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+If `TraceAll` is turned on in a production cluster it may cause widespread performance issues and large log files.

+
+.Prerequisites
