Horvatth,

The higher the debug level, the more info you get. ;)

To be a bit more helpful, here are the internal names corresponding to 
each debug level:

  /** NEVER output, except for usage info */ DEBUG_SILENT  = 0,
  /** Very quiet, only severe errors */      DEBUG_QUIET   = 1,
  /** Normal output, errors and warnings */  DEBUG_NORMAL  = 2,
  /** Errors, and all warnings */            DEBUG_VERBOSE = 3,
  /** Basic debug output */                  DEBUG_DEBUG_1 = 4,
  /** Outer Loop Debug */                    DEBUG_DEBUG_2 = 5,
  /** Inner Loop Debug */                    DEBUG_DEBUG_3 = 6,
  /** Rarely Used Debug */                   DEBUG_DEBUG_4 = 7,

I'll see about briefly documenting these in the next release -- thanks 
for pointing out that they're missing.

In practice, unless you're a debugging DAGMan internals, anything 
higher than "3" (DEBUG_VERBOSE) is not going to be helpful.  I'd 
recommend DEBUG_VERBOSE for normal use, because it's nice for 
post-mortem analysis if anything goes wrong with DAGMan.  I'd only 
lower it if the logs get too big.
