I have a bootstrap script for a Raspberry Pi that runs in python. I am looking to create a logger that logs to a file as well as to the console.
I was going to do something like this:
logging.basicConfig(
level=logging.INFO,
format="%(asctime)s [%(threadName)-12.12s] [%(levelname)-5.5s] %(message)s",
handlers=[
logging.FileHandler("{0}/{1}.log".format(logPath, fileName)),
logging.StreamHandler()
])
But what I would really like is to log INFO to the StreamHandler and DEBUG to the FileHandler... I cannot seem to figure that out.
Can anyone help me out?
Using Python 3.7.5
You could build the logger yourself (either through a config file or in pure python)
The tricky thing that I have wasted several hours on is forgetting to set the log level on the logger as well as on each of the handlers. Ensure that the logger is as permissive as the most permissive handler.
example script
# emits the info line to the console and
# both the info & debug lines to the log file
# test_pylog.py
import logging
log_format = logging.Formatter(
'%(asctime)s %(threadName)s %(levelname)s %(message)s'
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
console_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
console_handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
console_handler.setFormatter(log_format)
logger.addHandler(console_handler)
file_handler = logging.FileHandler('logfile.txt')
file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
file_handler.setFormatter(log_format)
logger.addHandler(file_handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
if __name__ == '__main__':
logger.debug('Panic! at the disco')
logger.info('Weezer')

I'm using the logging library and would like to log on to the console and store those logs in a file.
logger = logging.getLogger(module)
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter(
'%(asctime)s [%(name)s] %(levelname)-8s %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
filehandler=logging.FileHandler('logfile.log')
logger.addHandler(filehandler)
logger.info('hello')
my goal is to see logs in the below format.
[time] [module] [info/error] [log-msg]
I'm getting this format in the console but in log file I'm getting only log-msg
filehandler.setFormatter(formatter)
I ran the following using both the Python shell, and run it as a Python file from the command line. I don's see my log output at all.
import logging
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s,%(msecs)d %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s')
stream_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
stream_handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
stream_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(stream_handler)
logger.info(("info logging"))
Your logging output was almost correct with the exception of setLevel. The logging level needs to be defined on the logger instance instead of the handler instance. Your code therefore only needs a very small tweak to make it work:
import logging
formatter = logging.Formatter(
'%(asctime)s,%(msecs)d %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s'
)
stream_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
stream_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(stream_handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.info("info logging")
This piece of code produces the following output:
2019-08-21 15:04:55,118,118 INFO [testHandler.py:11] info logging
Note, I also removed the double brackets on the logger.info call as these are not necessary.
Use logging.basicConfig() to initialize the logging system.
You need to set the level of your logger,
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
Below statement can be removed from your code,
stream_handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
A logger and a handler can have different levels. You have only set the level for the handler, not the logger itself.
import logging
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s,%(msecs)d %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s')
stream_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
stream_handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
stream_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO) # Required
logger.addHandler(stream_handler)
logger.info(("info logging"))
I am using below configuration for logging in python,
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
hdlr = logging.FileHandler(r'/var/log/resource_checker.log')
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s : %(name)s : %(levelname)s : %(message)s')
hdlr.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(hdlr)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
This works well for me. However if I add logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) with existing logging configuration, all my logs pops up on screen screen (with additional DEBUG logs, which is good to have for me) and logfile does not populate at all.
how can i push those logs back to log file as my older config.?
This will log everything to a file, all from the logging.basicConfig:
import logging
logging.basicConfig(
level=logging.DEBUG,
filename='/var/log/resource_checker.log',
format='%(asctime)s : %(name)s : %(levelname)s : %(message)s'
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
I'm trying to figure out how to capture messages generated by Python/NumPy intractive shell when running my script. I would like to log all generated by console messages (errors, warnings) to same file as defined in my code log messages with time stamps:
def LogToFile():
global logger
logger = logging.getLogger('MyApp')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
file_log_handler = RotatingFileHandler('logfile.log', maxBytes=1024, backupCount=5)
logger.addHandler(file_log_handler)
stderr_log_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
logger.addHandler(stderr_log_handler)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
file_log_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
stderr_log_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
return logger
Afaik, you'd have to specify this in basicConfig, not in your logger:
logging.basicConfig(filename=LOG_FILE,
level=logging.DEBUG)
before you do
logger = logging.getLogger('MyApp')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
I'm trying to write a server that logs exceptions both to the console and to a file. I pulled some code off the cookbook. Here it is:
logger = logging.getLogger('server_logger')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create file handler which logs even debug messages
fh = logging.FileHandler('server.log')
fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create console handler with a higher log level
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
# create formatter and add it to the handlers
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s', datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
fh.setFormatter(formatter)
# add the handlers to logger
logger.addHandler(ch)
logger.addHandler(fh)
This code logs perfectly fine to the console, but nothing is logged to the file. The file is created, but nothing is ever written to it. I've tried closing the handler, but that doesn't do anything. Neither does flushing it. I searched the Internet, but apparently I'm the only one with this problem. Does anybody have any idea what the problem is? Thanks for your answers.
Try calling
logger.error('This should go to both console and file')
instead of
logging.error('this will go to the default logger which you have not changed the config of')
Try to put the import and the basicConfig at the very beggining of the script. Something like this:
import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename='log.log', level=logging.INFO)
.
.
import ...
import ...
Put this
for handler in logging.root.handlers[:]:
logging.root.removeHandler(handler)
in front of the
logging.basicConfig(...)

Logging module not writing to file
I know that this question might be a bit too old but I found the above method a bit of an overkill. I ran into a similar issue, I was able to solve it by:
import logging
logging.basicConfig(format = '%(asctime)s %(message)s',
datefmt = '%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p',
filename = 'example.log',
level=logging.DEBUG)
This will write to example.log all logs that are of level debug or higher.
logging.debug("This is a debug message") will write This is a debug message to example.log. Level is important for this to work.
In order to both write to terminal and file you can do like below:
import logging.config
logging.basicConfig(
level=logging.INFO,
format="%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(message)s",
handlers=[
logging.FileHandler("log_file.log"),
logging.StreamHandler()
]
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
usage in the code:
logger.info('message')
logger.error('message')
If root.handlers is not empty, log file will not be created. We should empty root.handlers before calling basicConfig() method. source
Snippet:
for handler in logging.root.handlers[:]:
logging.root.removeHandler(handler)
The full code is below:
import logging
##loging
for handler in logging.root.handlers[:]:
logging.root.removeHandler(handler)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
format='%(asctime)s %(message)s',
datefmt='%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S',
filename= 'log.txt',
filemode='w')
console = logging.StreamHandler()
console.setLevel(logging.INFO)
# add the handler to the root logger
logging.getLogger().addHandler(console)
logging.info("\nParameters:")
for i in range(10):
logging.info(i)
logging.info("end!")
