Hi,
For some reason, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this one out. I
know it has to be relatively easy but it just isn't "working" for me
at the moment.
I want to re-direct the logs from python's logging library and while
using a config file rather than instantiating all of the logging
within my actual code.
So, lets say I have a file log.conf that contains the various
directives for the logging module. Amongst all of the other settings a
handler might look like this:
[handler_warn_logfile]
class=handlers.RotatingFileHandler
level=WARNING
formatter=DatetimeLevelMessage
args=('test_warn.log', 'a', 125829120, 5)
filename=test_warn.log
mode=a
then loaded like this
logging.config.fileConfig(log_config_path)
logging.debug('Logging enabled')
... which basically says append WARNING messages to the rotating file
handler in DatetimeLevelMessage format to a log-file named
test_warn.log splitting the log-file when it exceeds 125829120 bytes.
Because I don't have any full paths listed, the logger uses the
current working directory i.e. "/home/user/workspace/logged_app/
test_warn.log"
I could change the name to "logs/test_warn.log" for a sub-directory
but I'd like to put a data on some of the logs and not necessarily in
the root of the scripts but maybe elsewhere on the system i.e. /home/
user/logs/someapp/200904_logs/
I've done a bunch of inspection of dictionaries, methods and
attributes but nothing seems to be surfacing that would allow me to re-
direct the paths in a dynamic way -- other than using
os.cwd('some_path') before instantiating the logging... which is quite
hack-ish IMO.
The only thing that comes to mind, after reviewing the logging via
help(logging...), is that I may need to dynamically re-write the .conf
file using ConfigParser.
Any ideas on what I'm missing within the logging for redirecting the
files? Or, should I bump this up to the main python list?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
