Debug Logs

Is there anyway to increase qBittorrent log level to get more details about what is going on?

I'm using Sonarr and am finding that the seed ratio and seed time I configure in Sonarr are not being set in qBittorrent.
Hoping more detailed logging might help me figure out what might be going wrong.

Well, there are two ways I know of.
- Run qBittorrent from Terminal - and there is already some output.
- Enable "Execution Log" in qBittorrent that creates a quite verbose Log file that you can check.
- Re-compile or run a debug version. It tells you a LOT.

Thanks for the response.
How do I enable "Execution Log"? I can't seem to find a corresponding setting.

It's in View, in the GUI. (to see)
And in Options -> Log File (bottom), you can customize the options.

I don't know which config lines represent these though. I'd just backup the config file, make these changes on a Linux/Windows PC, then diff the config file and see which lines changed.

Thanks Peter. Unfortunately, these logs do not provide enough detail to investigate my issue.
I'll compile a debug version of qBittorrent and see if that yields more information.
