Zenoss uses the standard Python "logging" module for this. The levels are a bit counter-intuitive in that a lower numbers gives your more verbose logging. 50 = FATAL/CRITICAL 40 = ERROR 30 = WARNING 20 = INFO 10 = DEBUG So setting logseverity to 10 in zenactions.conf (or any .conf file), or via the command line with the --logseverity option will give you all possible logging. The default is 20 or INFO.
