Configuring Zowe CLI
This section explains how to configure Zowe CLI, such as changing log levels and setting the home directory location.
Tip: CLI configuration is stored on your computer in the directory C:\Users\user01\.zowe
by default. The directory includes log files, profile information, and installed CLI plug-ins. When troubleshooting, refer to the logs in the imperative
and zowe
folders.
#
Setting CLI log levelsYou can set the log level to adjust the level of detail that is written to log files:
Important! Setting the log level to TRACE or ALL might result in "sensitive" data being logged. For example, command line arguments will be logged when TRACE is set.

---|---|---|---|
ZOWE_APP_LOG_LEVEL | Zowe CLI logging level | Log4JS log levels (OFF, TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL) | DEBUG |
ZOWE_IMPERATIVE_LOG_LEVEL | Imperative CLI Framework logging level | Log4JS log levels (OFF, TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL) | DEBUG |
