 This produces an executable & plugin libraries in the root project directory. To start the Arc server, run:
 
-    ./build/arc --log=stdout --env=config/manual.env
+    ./build/arc --env=config/manual.env
 
 Alternatively, you could execute the following commands to start the server without producing an executable, (but still produce the plugin libraries):
 
     make plugins
-    go run main.go --log=stdout --env=config/manual.env
+    go run main.go --env=config/manual.env
+
 
 **Note**: Running the executable assumes an active Elasticsearch connection whose url is to be provided in the `.env` file. manual.env configures it to be the localhost.
 
+### Logging
+Define the run time flag (`log`) to change the default log mode, the possible options are:
+
+#### debug
+Most verbose, use this to get logs for elasticsearch interactions.
+#### info
+Prints the basic information
+#### error (default)
+Only log the errors
+
 #### TLS Support
 
 You can optionally start arc to serve https requests instead of http requests using the flag https.
 You also need to provide the server key & certificate file location through the environment file.
 manual.env is configured to use demo server key & certificates, which work for localhost.
+```bash
     go run main.go --log=stdout --env=config/manual.env --https
-
+```
 If you wish to manually test TLS support at localhost,
 curl needs to be also passed an extra parameter providing the cacert, in this case.
+```bash
     curl https://foo:bar@localhost:8000/_user --cacert sample/rootCA.pem
+```
 
 #### JWT Key Loading through HTTP
 
 If you wish to test loading JWT Key through HTTP, you can use the following commands to start a HTTP
 server serving the key
+```bash
     cd sample
     python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8500
-
+```
 Then start arc using the command:
+```bash
     go run main.go --log=stdout --env=config/manual-http-jwt.env
+```
