Please simplify logging. It is FAR too verbose

[twhiting9275]

I get that , for some, log files are fun to go through, and verbose logging is really cool and all, but for most? Not so much.
There is no reason for so much detail to be added to log files by default... One doesn't NEED that much detail.

Case in point, this log:

50 lines, to tell me two movies were inserted, or updated? Come on now!

This makes finding and fixing real errors an issue, because the log files end up being 10s of 1000s of lines long just for one run

I know there's a lot but I don't plan on changing the logging but I do plan on trying to develop a better summary so you'll hopefully be notified of errors in a better way.

I'd love to have the option to hide INFO log entries. Seems like enabling logging levels would be great here. The logs are GREAT as in when troubleshooting, but for everyday use I find it to be a bit much.

[meisnate12]

so theres only info and debug messages so if you hide the info then pmm will output nothing. Also this is my lowest level of logging there's also --debug and --trace which each have increasing levels of logs.

Here is a suggestion of what the log might look like if nothing broke and all the background processes ran as expected:
