Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Add environment variable to control the displayed log level in Logger.js

Why would this be helpful?

I have a very large amount of podcasts and loading the library is very slow. I wanted to enable the benchmark on the database layer to view the queries and their latency, however, the logger will only log INFO level messages unless running as dev.

I tried adjusting the NODE_ENV in the docker image and it crashed due to not being able to load the dev environment.

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1228
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module './dev'

}

Node.js v20.18.1

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Check for process.env.LOG_LEVEL before setting this.logLevel in Logger.js

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.17.5

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

As the log lines are currently missing, not sure there's anything I can add here.

The log level can be set to WARN, INFO, or DEBUG in the server settings on the Logs page.

You can also manually change the log level in the database in the settings table.

No worries, there are a few things like this that would be good to expose as an environment variable, it just hasn't been exposed since configuration should (currently) be done through the web UI.
