The CLI uses pino for structured logging with pretty-printed output by default.
Human-readable output with colors, suitable for interactive terminal use:
[18:31:58] INFO: Deploying cartridges...
[18:31:59] INFO: Upload complete
Machine-readable output for scripting, CI/CD pipelines, and log aggregation:
b2c code deploy --json{"level":"info","time":1764113529411,"command":"code deploy","msg":"Deploying cartridges..."}
{"level":"info","time":1764113529412,"command":"code deploy","msg":"Upload complete"}Control verbosity with --log-level or -D for debug:
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
trace |
Maximum verbosity |
debug |
Detailed operational info |
info |
Normal messages (default) |
warn |
Warnings |
error |
Errors only |
silent |
No output |
b2c code deploy --log-level debug
b2c code deploy -D # shorthand for --log-level debugIn debug/trace mode, context objects are displayed:

SFCC_LOG_LEVEL |

| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
SFCC_LOG_LEVEL |
Log level (trace, debug, info, warn, error, silent) |
SFCC_DEBUG |
Enable debug logging |
SFCC_LOG_TO_STDOUT |
Send logs to stdout instead of stderr |
SFCC_LOG_COLORIZE |
Force colors on/off |
SFCC_REDACT_SECRETS |
Set to false to disable secret redaction |
NO_COLOR |
Industry standard to disable colors |
By default, logs go to stderr so that command output (data, IDs, etc.) can be piped cleanly:
# Logs go to stderr, JSON output goes to stdout
b2c sites list --json 2>/dev/null | jq '.sites[0].id'To send logs to stdout instead:
SFCC_LOG_TO_STDOUT=1 b2c code deploySensitive fields are automatically redacted from log output:
password,secret,tokenclient_secret,access_token,refresh_tokenapi_key,authorization
[18:31:58] INFO: Authenticating
client_id: "my-client"
client_secret: "[REDACTED]"
To disable redaction (for debugging):
SFCC_REDACT_SECRETS=false b2c code deploy --debugFor CI/CD pipelines, use JSON output and disable colors:
NO_COLOR=1 b2c code deploy --json 2>&1 | tee deploy.logOr explicitly set the log level:
SFCC_LOG_LEVEL=info b2c code deploy --json
