An `--execution-log-level=` flag that determines the level of execution logging

[Buzz-Lightyear]

ATTENTION! Please read and follow:

• if this is a question about how to build / test / query / deploy using Bazel, or a discussion starter, send it to bazel-discuss@googlegroups.com
• if this is a bug or feature request, fill the form below as best as you can.

Description of the problem / feature request:

I'd like an --execution-log-level= flag that determines the level of execution logging we'd like. Currently there's a single --execution_log_binary_file which is pretty large and contains more info than we might need at times.

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

Given the option to set the execution log level, customers can prioritize how much information they need in the execution logs. The smaller execution log that I have in mind contains just the mnemonic and runner fields (We want to get granular remote cache hit stats)

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

What's the output of bazel info release?

 smuthu  in  ~/Sandbox/learning-ios   on branch  master   > bazel info release
INFO: Using Bazel Remote listening on 127.0.0.1:64126
INFO: Running Bazel version 3.7.0
INFO: Invocation ID: f6042bf5-0c8b-471c-b186-734140b26e4b
release 3.7.0

If bazel info release returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", tell us how you built Bazel.

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

There are couple of open issues about remote cache hit metrics but none about changing the size of execution logs

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

Not in particular

@meisterT Do you know if there is a way to get this information using currently available features?

[meisterT]

I don't think so; moving it to our team anyway.

hi, are there any ways to get remote cache hit status of one specific target.
