~The RTI should accept an argument to set the log level~

[lhstrh]

Currently, recompilation is required to change the log level. It would be much better if this could be done using a CLI argument.

I don't think it's a good idea to support this as a CLI. Logging can have considerable impact on performance, and if it's a CLI, then at a minimum, every logging point incurs the penalty of a test. If it is implemented badly, it will also incur the penalty of constructing the logging message that it will then not print.

That's a good point -- I hadn't thought of that. Rather than telling folks to go edit the source, however, how about we create a build option for this?

[Soroosh129]

You don't need to edit the source code. This is explained in the RTI's README file:

Note: To enable DEBUG messages, use the following build commands instead:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG ../
make
sudo make install

Oh, great! My suggestion was prompted by this comment, but this certainly addresses it.
