+rrdcached under load can severely flood the logs. This command line option
+specifies the maximum log_level to be used, meaning that a message with
+verbosity I<higher> than log_level is muted (LOG_EMERG being the lowest and
+LOG_DEBUG highest).
+
+Accepted values for "log_level" (lowest to highest verbosity):
+LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR, LOG_WARNING, LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG
+
+Default log level when this flag is I<NOT> present: B<LOG_ERR>
+
+See also: L<syslog.h>

 Data is written to disk every I<timeout> seconds.
