+# Increasing Logging Verbosity
+
+When troubleshooting issues with **bootc**, it is often helpful to enable **verbose logging** to gain additional insights into its execution flow.
+
+## Using the `--verbose` Flag
+Most **bootc** commands support the `--verbose` flag, which enables detailed logging output. The verbosity level determines how much information is logged.
+
+### **Verbosity Levels**
+The `--verbose` flag can be used multiple times (`-v`, `-vv`, `-vvv`) to increase the verbosity of logging:
+
+| Verbosity Level | Flag Used | Logs Enabled |
+|---------------|-----------|--------------|
+| **WARN** (default) | *(no flag)* | Only warnings and errors |
+| **INFO** | `-v` | Warnings, errors, and general information |
+| **DEBUG** | `-vv` | Info, warnings, errors, and debug logs |
+| **TRACE** | `-vvv` or more | All logs, including low-level tracing |
+
+### Example Usage
+To switch to a new container image with verbose logging enabled:
+```sh
+bootc switch --apply -vv quay.io/centos-bootc/centos-bootc:stream9
+```
+This command will print **INFO, DEBUG, and WARN logs**, helping diagnose issues during the `switch` process.
+
+### Example Output (Verbose Mode Enabled with `-vv`)
+```sh
+$ bootc switch --apply -vvv quay.io/centos-bootc/centos-bootc:stream9
+TRACE Verified uid 0 with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+DEBUG Re-executing current process for _ostree_unshared
+DEBUG Already in a mount namespace
+DEBUG Current security context is unconfined_u:system_r:install_t:s0:c1023
+INFO We have install_t
+INFO Staged: None
+DEBUG Rollback queued=false
+DEBUG Wrote merge commit b8761b75924d7f21e7f92abc8fd8b3c645d289fc91555
+DEBUG new_with_config: Spawned skopeo pid=1023
+TRACE new_with_config: impl_request: sending request Initialize
+TRACE new_with_config: impl_request: completed request Config=ImageProxy
+```
+With `-vvv`, the output includes **INFO, DEBUG, WARN, and TRACE** level messages.
+
+## Using the `RUST_LOG` Environment Variable
+For even more detailed logging, use the `RUST_LOG` environment variable (if applicable for Rust-based components):
+
+```sh
+RUST_LOG=debug bootc switch --apply -vvv quay.io/centos-bootc/centos-bootc:stream9
+```
+The environment variable will override the `-vvv` and enable **DEBUG** level logs for Rust-based sub-components within **bootc**.
