The "nmcli general logging" command is used to configure the logging settings of NetworkManager, which is a network management tool for Linux.

When you execute this command, it provides information about the current logging settings of NetworkManager. It shows whether logging is enabled or disabled and provides details about the log file path and logging level.

The logging level determines the amount of detail that is captured in the logs. It can be set to one of the following levels: none, err, info, or debug.

"none" disables logging completely.
"err" logs only error messages.
"info" logs both error and informational messages.
"debug" logs detailed debugging information, including error messages, informational messages, and debug-level messages.

The log file path specifies the location where the log messages are saved. By default, the log file is usually stored in "/var/log/messages" or "/var/log/syslog", depending on the system configuration.

By examining the output of the "nmcli general logging" command, you can determine the current logging settings and make any necessary changes to suit your requirements.
