SSS_DEBUGLEVEL(8)

💖 NAME 💖

sss_debuglevel — [DEPRECATED] change debug level while SSSD is running

okay so bestie, before we even get into it: this page is for sss_debuglevel from the SSSD Manual pages, section 8 (that's the sysadmin commands girlies 💅). She's an icon, she's a legend, but she is lowkey retired — keep reading, I'll explain.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sss_debuglevel [options] NEW_DEBUG_LEVEL

so it's the command, then [options] if you want them, then the NEW_DEBUG_LEVEL you're setting. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it's giving bittersweet: sss_debuglevel is deprecated. like, officially. she's been replaced by the sssctl debug-level command. no cap.

if you want the actual current, non-retired way to do this, go read the sssctl man page — it's got all the info on how to use sssctl. that's the main character now. 👑

ngl this page is basically a "go here instead" note and honestly? respect. graceful exit energy. 💜
