# level

The minimum level of messages that the shader can log.

## Declaration

```swift
var level: MTLLogLevel { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is MTLLogLevel.debug. Use this value to limit which logs from your shader the log state stores. The log state doesn’t store messages at a lower level. Increase the level to reduce verbosity of logging.
