As an additional aid these nodes each have settings presets which will adjust RenderMan controls according to type of render:  Default, Draft, Intermediate, or High Quality.  The differences between these presets are minimal but significant.  They are best used for quick switching and for reference values.  Note that changes you make to the settings do not "stick" the preset; they will be lost if you change to a different preset.  See the custom presets page if you need to set up collections of presets which are specific to your needs. 

Logging

Currently the log level defaults to "INFO", determined by the log configuration file in KATANA_HOME. In order to change the log level we copy the configuration file, change the level and set and environment variable (using Linux):

mkdir $KATANA_RESOURCES/Logging

cp $KATANA_HOME/bin/log.conf $KATANA_RESOURCES/Logging/log.conf

edit log.conf and change the "rootLogger" to the desired level: "ERROR", "WARN", "INFO", "DEBUG"

Similar workflow in Windows, create the $KATANA_RESOURCES/Logging Folder, copy the log.conf file and change the "rootLogger" value to the listed options.
