In ESP-IDF4.2.1 Logging library – Is there any other prerequisites to use LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL other than #define before including esp_log.h, because I have couple files where I use it, but on some files works, on other doesn’t work?

The only differences upfront I see on those my files are the #include directives before #define LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL

Thanks

In the cases where it is not working, is it being set lower than the default level?

In one place in the documentation, it says:

To raise log level above the default one for a given file, define LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL to one of the ESP_LOG_* values, before including esp_log.h in this file.

Some parts of the documentation don't specify "above" so it is a little unclear. So I wonder if this is what's going on.

All LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL defines (in working and not working files) are:
#define LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL ESP_LOG_DEBUG
which is 4

(I tried also on files that dont work // #define LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL ESP_LOG_VERBOSE // which is 5)

While
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL=3

So all LOG_LOCAL_LEVEL set were higher than default level

Thanks
