The `npm` CLI has various mechanisms for showing different levels of information back to end-users for certain commands, configurations & environments.

11
+
### Setting Log Levels
12
+
13
+
#### `loglevel`
14
+
15
+
`loglevel` is a global argument/config that can be set to determine the type of information to be displayed.
16
+
17
+
The default value of `loglevel` is `"notice"` but there are several levels/types of logs available, including:
18
+
19
+
-`"silent"`
20
+
-`"error"`
21
+
-`"warn"`
22
+
-`"notice"`
23
+
-`"http"`
24
+
-`"timing"`
25
+
-`"info"`
26
+
-`"verbose"`
27
+
-`"silly"`
28
+
29
+
All logs pertaining to a level proceeding the current setting will be shown.
30
+
31
+
All logs are written to a debug log, with the path to that file printed if the execution of a command fails.
32
+
33
+
##### Aliases
34
+
35
+
The log levels listed above have various corresponding aliases, including:
36
+
37
+
-`-d`: `--loglevel info`
38
+
-`--dd`: `--loglevel verbose`
39
+
-`--verbose`: `--loglevel verbose`
40
+
-`--ddd`: `--loglevel silly`
41
+
-`-q`: `--loglevel warn`
42
+
-`--quiet`: `--loglevel warn`
43
+
-`-s`: `--loglevel silent`
44
+
-`--silent`: `--loglevel silent`
45
+
46
+
#### `foreground-scripts`
47
+
48
+
The `npm` CLI began hiding the output of lifecycle scripts for `npm install` as of `v7`. Notably, this means you will not see logs/output from packages that may be using "install scripts" to display information back to you or from your own project's scripts defined in `package.json`. If you'd like to change this behavior & log this output you can set `foreground-scripts` to `true`.
49
+
50
+
### Registry Response Headers
51
+
52
+
#### `npm-notice`
53
+
54
+
The `npm` CLI reads from & logs any `npm-notice` headers that are returned from the configured registry. This mechanism can be used by third-party registries to provide useful information when network-dependent requests occur.
55
+
56
+
This header is not cached, and will not be logged if the request is served from the cache.
