Detail levels (modes)
The plugin supports three different modes: "debug", "info", and "quiet". Here are their purposes.
Debug mode should be used, as it indicates, only when debugging your test scripts. It will send all the details of requests/response to the ElasticSearch engine allowing you to visualize and debug in real-time. It could be used as an alternative to the Results Tree.
** Although, it should be noted that debugging with the results tree is most likely faster. However, we do like giving you the option to choose :-). **
Info mode should be used when the tests are being executed in a production context. This mode will send the metrics of all samplers, but it will log the request/response body and headers of the failed samplers only.
Error mode should be used when wanting to report the errors only/generate alerts. This mode sends the failing samplers to the ElasticSearch engine. Therefore, it should NOT be used to monitor performance metrics as the only metrics making it to ES are the failing samplers.
Quiet mode should be used when... Well it should be used when you simply don't care to have any details except for the usual Response Times, sent bytes, etc.
For any suggestions/corrections to the documentation, feel free to create an issue. Regards, delirius325.
