Useful options

-h, --hosts FILE , the hosts that you are going to be testing with
--log-level debug, for providing verbose logging and full stacktraces on failure
--[no-]provision, indicates if beaker should provision new boxes upon test execution. If no is selected then beaker will attempt to connect to the hosts as defined in --hosts FILE without first creating/running them through their hypervisors
--preserve-hosts [MODE], indicates what should be done with the testing boxes after tests are complete. If always is selected then the boxes will be preserved and left running post-testing. If onfail is selected then the boxes will be preserved only if tests fail, otherwise they will be shut down and destroyed. If never is selected then the boxes will be shut down and destroyed no matter the testing results.
--parse-only, read and parse all command line options, environment options and file options; report the parsed options and exit.
