Hugo has four logging levels:
- error
- Display error messages only.
hugo --logLevel error
- warn
- Display warning and error messages.
hugo --logLevel warn
- info
- Display information, warning, and error messages.
hugo --logLevel info
- debug

Template functions #
You can also use template functions to print warnings or errors to the console. These functions are typically used to report data validation errors, missing files, etc.
LiveReload #
To log Hugo’s LiveReload requests in your browser, add this query string to the URL when running Hugo’s development server:
debug=LR-verbose
For example:
http://localhost:1313/?debug=LR-verbose
Then monitor the reload requests in your browser’s dev tools console. Make sure the dev tools “preserve log” option is enabled.
