HI,

Do we have any place where we describe what level of output one would get
with each level?
sssd.conf has some info:
     https://jhrozek.fedorapeople.org/sssd/git/man/sssd.conf.5.html
This does not show how bitmap values map levels.
IMO from usability POV levels a simpler though bitmaps are more flexible.
If we want people to stop using 1-10 levels we need to stop recommending
them and start recommending bitmaps.
We tried, but bitmaps are just too hard to use for most users. So we
added this sentence to the man page:

----------------------------
SSSD supports two representations for specifying the debug level. The
simplest is to specify a decimal value from 0-9, which represents enabling
that level and all lower-level debug messages.
The more comprehensive option is to specify a hexadecimal
bitmask to enable or disable specific levels (such as if you
wish to suppress a level).
----------------------------

But to do that we need to have at least
a set of predefined ones that can address most common cases. And we need to
document them somewhere.
Ticket?
Feel free to file one. I'm afraid my point of view is narrowed because I
know the code..

TBH in reality I either just use "-d 3" to see failures, "-d 7" to use
most traffic or "-d 10" to see everything including tracing...

And this is exactly what we need to put on the troubleshooting page and use as a general guidance.
So do we need a ticket? Martin?
