Current Behavior

root@10-20-1-220:~# calicoctl label node 10-20-1-220 calico-group-id=rr1   --overwrite --log-level=debug
Usage:
  calicoctl label (<KIND> <NAME>
                  ( <key>=<value> [--overwrite] |
                    <key> --remove )
                  [--config=<CONFIG>] [--namespace=<NS>] [--context=<context>]) [--allow-version-mismatch]
root@10-20-1-220:~# calicoctl get node --log-level=debug
Usage:
  calicoctl get ( (<KIND> [<NAME>...]) |
                --filename=<FILENAME> [--recursive] [--skip-empty] )
                [--output=<OUTPUT>] [--config=<CONFIG>] [--namespace=<NS>] [--all-namespaces] [--export] [--context=<context>] [--allow-version-mismatch]

calicoctl --log-level=debug label node 10-20-1-220 calico-group-id=rr1 --overwrite

[cyclinder]

maybe we can consider --log-level as a global flag

[caseydavenport]

I think as you discovered the --log-level flag does work globally across all commands, the problem is that it needs to be before the sub command.

i.e., calicoctl -l=debug subcommand instead of calicoctl subcommand -l=debug

This is a bit annoying but probably not super high priority to change IMO.
