I think time is crucial to anything. For example, if you lock an infinite
number of monkeys in a room with those typewriters, but you limit the
amount of time they have to write, the best you'll get out of them is the
pilot to The Dukes of Hazzard.

I'm sharing this, so others might benefit.

Original problem: Retrieving logs via the dashboard resulted in a
short error message indicating that some internal retrieval exceeded 1Mb.

Cause: The problem appears to have been a stray "print" to sys.stderr that
I originally put into the code to help debug something while running with
dev_appserver; I neglected to remove that debug statement when I uploaded
the application. That print statement, while rarely executed, produced a
*lot* of output when it *was* executed. Yesterday, I used the application
in a way that triggered the print statement repeatedly It produced a lot of
log output; the volume of log output was clearly pushing an internal GAE
retrieval over a 1Mb limit, resulting in the error.

Limiting the number of logs via the "limit" parameter, as Marzia noted
above, allowed me to see some of the log output. Once I saw the output, the
problem was immediately apparent.

My only suggestion to the GAE team: In cases like this, it would help if
the log viewer displayed a more useful error message.

Thanks, Marzia.

[google-appengine] Error when accessing logs from dashboard

[Brian Clapper]

Attempting to examine the logs for my AppEngine application today, I have
consistently received a document containing nothing more than the following:

HTTP response was too large: 1738540. The limit is: 1048576.

Other than the obvious 1Mb ceiling being hit here, it's a little tough to
diagnose the cause of the problem. Is this happening because my application is
dumping out too many DEBUG-level log messages? (If so, what's the definition
of "too many"?) Is there some other problem?

Is anyone else seeing this?

Application ID is "brizzled", for what it's worth.

If appcfg.py is not executable, you'll get that error. You have two options:

Am I missing something? I believe I've used the -d (--debug) parameter to
dev_appserver to get debug-level logs printed on the terminal.

Or are we talking about two different things?

It listens on localhost by default, i.e., on address 127.0.0.1.
If you want it to listen on another interface, you have to specify it.
e.g.:

dev_appserver --address=192.168.1.100 .

Except that posting questions to a list--getting others to do your up-front
research, so you can "get going and become productive much faster"--without
doing even a minimal amount of your own research, simply pushes the
resource cost off to someone else. Why is your time more valuable than that
of an expert on this list? By getting a "helpful expert to answer some
questions right at the get-to", you're relying on that expert to give up
*his* valuable time to save *you* a few hours of research. Is it really all
that surprising such behavior would annoy people?

It's all about respect and consideration. Do some research yourself.
Then come to the list for clarification.

That behavior standard has been part of good netiquette for a very long
time. The fact that some people ignore good etiquette doesn't make it any
less good.

If you post simple questions to a list--especially questions that are
answered in a FAQ or on a well-known web site associated with the list--you
will invariably annoy the very experts whose help you desire.

If make an effort to educate yourself and do a little research on your own
first, you'll find, as if by magic, that people are a lot more disposed to
bend over backward to help you.

Your first paragraph should give you the answer. If it contains static data,
you can put it in your local development tree and upload it with appcfg. Or

I see this periodically. If you search through the mailing list archives,
you'll see occasional bursts of complaints about it. It seems to happen for
awhile, then go away.

To date, no one from Google has responded with any information as to why it
happens. It definitely appears to be on the server (i.e., Google) side.

The workaround appears to be: Keep trying until it stops happening.

Without seeing the .htaccess file, it's difficult to give a precise answer.
But GAE offers some useful tools that might help. One possibility is to use
regular expression matching in combination with a redirect handler. For
instance given this WSGIApplication initialization in one of your Python
scripts:

application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
[(r'/', FrontPageHandler),
 ...

 # Redirects from old paths.
 (r'/docs/(.*)/?', DocsRedirectHandler),]
)

You could handle redirects to any URL path starting with "/docs/" to
"/newdocs/" with this handler:

class DocsRedirectHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self, docpath):
url = "/newdocs/%s" % docpath
logging.debug('Redirecting to: %s' % url)
self.redirect(url)
