I'm running curator from the command line passing an action and a config file. I'm managed to make it run apparently properly once:  
curator --config curator-config.yml curator-action.yml

However now, every time I run it I just receive nothing, even no errors by setting, i.e., a wrong server name....

Any idea? Is there any generated log?

Thanks,  
Marco

You can change curator's logging level in your configuration file by including this:

```auto
logging:
  loglevel: DEBUG
  logfile:
  logformat: default
  blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']

```

Changing `loglevel` to 'DEBUG' will show you more information.
