@JianLi-RH Could you PTAL?

[JianLi-RH]

@DavidHurta Will we cherry-pick 1232 to 4.20? If yes, when will the change be merged into payload? As I know Monday we promoted 4.20.0-rc.3 which we hope to be a final releasable build. and 4.20.0-rc.3 was created on Sep 29 2025. That means in the first few GA versions, we will not include this feature in those versions. So there is a gap between 4.20 GA and CVO log level feature available in TP cluster.
If we announce this feature in release note, readers might be confused.

[JianLi-RH]

@cbippley @DavidHurta If we really want to announce this feature in 4.20 release note, we would also want to add it in to #99971

Oh, I see, we already listed it as ClusterVersionOperatorConfiguration

When I click this link, I'm brought to the "Gathering data about your cluster update" document but I do not see a section named Changing the CVO log level.I do not see the term "log level" used in the .

[cbippley]

I'll try and fix it now that I've merged the other doc changes.

[cbippley]

@dfitzmau I think I fixed it. Please try again.
