Set the output of the specified logger. Log messages are filtered by the subsystem in which they originated
and the log level of the message. For example, send debug logging messages from the storage manager
to a file by running the following command:
xe log-set-output key=sm level=debug output=<file:/tmp/sm.log>
The optional parameter key specifies the particular logging subsystem. If this parameter is not set, it will
default to all logging subsystems.
The optional parameter level specifies the logging level. Valid values are:
• debug
• info
• warning
• error
