4.2. Logging

4.2.1. Logging levels

  • Critical - Critical Error, and cannot continue

  • Error - Error, but can continue

  • Warning - Warning, will do something important

  • Info - I will do something

  • Debug - This is how I am doing this

import logging

logging.critical('Permission Denied, cannot continue')
logging.error('File not found, will create a new one')
logging.warning('Warning, will overwrite the file')
logging.info('Writing to file')
logging.debug('Data {DATA} will be written to file {path}')

4.2.2. Use Case

import logging


print('Program start')

for number in range(0,3):
    print(f'Current number: {number}')

print('Program end')

# Program start
# Current number: 0
# Current number: 1
# Current number: 2
# Program end
import logging


logging.warning('Program start')

for number in range(0,3):
    logging.debug(f'Current number: {number}')

logging.warning('Program end')

# WARNING:root:Program start
# WARNING:root:Program end

4.2.3. Konfiguracja logowania

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

log.warning('warning!')     # zostanie zapisana do pliku
log.debug('Debug message')  # nie zostanie zapisana, bo level jest INFO, czyli powyżej DEBUG
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    filename='/tmp/logging.csv',
    format='"%(asctime).19s", "%(levelname)s", "%(message)s"'
)

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

log.warning('warning!')     # zostanie zapisana do pliku
log.debug('Debug message')  # nie zostanie zapisana, bo level jest INFO, czyli powyżej DEBUG
import logging


logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='"%(asctime).19s", "%(levelname)s", "%(message)s"',
    filename="log.csv",
)

logging.info('Loop start')

i = 0
while i <= 3:
    logging.info(f'Computing {i}')
    i += 1

logging.info('Loop end')
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    filename='/tmp/logging.csv',
    format='"%(asctime).19s", "%(levelname)s", "%(message)s"'
)

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

log.warning('warning!')  # zostanie zapisana do pliku
log.debug('Debug message')  # nie zostanie zapisana, bo level jest INFO, czyli powyżej DEBUG
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level='DEBUG',
    datefmt='"%Y-%m-%d" "%H:%M:%S"',
    format='{asctime}, "{levelname}", "{message}"',
    style='{'
)

4.2.4. Logowanie zdarzeń

import logging
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def sum(a, b):
    log.debug('Function `sum()` executed with: %s', locals())
    value = a + b
    log.debug(f'Will produce "{value}" as result')
    return value

sum(1, 2)
# Function `sum()` executed with: {'b': 2, 'a': 1}
# Will produce "3" as result
# 3

4.2.5. Wyciszanie logowania

import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='[%(asctime).19s] [%(levelname)s] %(message)s')

logging.getLogger('requests').setLevel(logging.WARNING)
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

log.debug('Debug message')

4.2.6. Konfiguracja formatowania logów

Format

Description

args

The tuple of arguments merged into msg to produce message, or a dict whose values are used for the merge (when there is only one argument, and it is a dictionary). You shouldn't need to format this yourself.

%(asctime)s

Human-readable time when the LogRecord was created. By default this is of the form '2003-07-08 16:49:45,896' (the numbers after the comma are millisecond portion of the time).

%(created)f

Time when the LogRecord was created (as returned by time.time).

exc_info

Exception tuple (à la sys.exc_info) or, if no exception has occurred, None. You shouldn't need to format this yourself.

%(filename)s

Filename portion of pathname.

%(funcName)s

Name of function containing the logging call.

%(levelname)s

Text logging level for the message ('DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARNING', 'ERROR', 'CRITICAL').

%(levelno)s

Numeric logging level for the message (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL).

%(lineno)d

Source line number where the logging call was issued (if available).

%(module)s

Module (name portion of filename).

%(msecs)d

Millisecond portion of the time when the LogRecord was created.

%(message)s

The logged message, computed as msg % args. This is set when Formatter.format is invoked.

msg

The format string passed in the original logging call. Merged with args to produce message, or an arbitrary object (see arbitrary-object-messages). You shouldn't need to format this yourself.

%(name)s

Name of the logger used to log the call.

%(pathname)s

Full pathname of the source file where the logging call was issued (if available).

%(process)d

Process ID (if available).

%(processName)s

Process name (if available).

%(relativeCreated)d

Time in milliseconds when the LogRecord was created, relative to the time the logging module was loaded.

stack_info

Stack frame information (where available) from the bottom of the stack in the current thread, up to and including the stack frame of the logging call which resulted in the creation of this record. You shouldn't need to format this yourself.

%(thread)d

Thread ID (if available).

%(threadName)s

Thread name (if available).

Table 4.3. DictConfig

Format

Description

filename

Specifies that a FileHandler be created, using the specified filename, rather than a StreamHandler

filemode

If filename is specified, open the file in this mode. Defaults to 'a'

format

Use the specified format string for the handler

datefmt

Use the specified date/time format, as accepted by time.strftime()

style

If format is specified, use this style for the format string. One of '%', '{' or '$' for printf-style, str.format() or string.Template respectively. Defaults to '%'

level

Set the root logger level to the specified level

stream

Use the specified stream to initialize the StreamHandler. Note that this argument is incompatible with filename - if both are present, a ValueError is raised

handlers

If specified, this should be an iterable of already created handlers to add to the root logger. Any handlers which don't already have a formatter set will be assigned the default formatter created in this function. Note that this argument is incompatible with filename or stream - if both are present, a ValueError is raised

4.2.8. Rotate

  • logging.handlers.WatchedFileHandler

  • logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler

  • logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler

from logging import handlers

handler = handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler(filename, when=LOG_ROTATE)

handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter(log_format, datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))

#LOG_ROTATE = midnight
#set your log format

4.2.9. Examples

import logging
import os

logging.basicConfig(
    format='"{asctime}", "{levelname}", "{message}"',
    filename='...',
    style='{'
)

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)
level = os.getenv('LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO')
log.setLevel(level)


log.critical('Critical error... finishing')
log.error('Some problem but can continue')
log.warning('Warning, this is important')
log.info('Typical message')
log.debug('Debug message with extra information')


logging.getLogger('requests').setLevel('DEBUG')
logging.getLogger('_tmp').setLevel('ERROR')
