logging set file logs code example

Example 1: python logging to file

import logging

"""
DEBUG
INFO
WARNING
ERROR
CRITICAL
"""
# asctime: time of the log was printed out
# levelname: name of the log
# datefmt: format the time of the log
# give DEBUG log
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s',
    datefmt='%d-%m-%Y:%H:%M:%S',
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    filename='logs.txt')

logger = logging.getLogger('my_app')

logger.debug("This is a debug log")
logger.info("This is an info log")
logger.critical("This is critical")
logger.error("An error occurred")

Example 2: logging.debug vs logger

// get a logger instance named "com.foo"
   Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.foo");

   // Now set its level. Normally you do not need to set the
   // level of a logger programmatically. This is usually done
   // in configuration files.
   logger.setLevel(Level.INFO);

   Logger barlogger = Logger.getLogger("com.foo.Bar");

   // This request is enabled, because WARN >= INFO.
   logger.warn("Low fuel level.");

   // This request is disabled, because DEBUG < INFO.
   logger.debug("Starting search for nearest gas station.");

   // The logger instance barlogger, named "com.foo.Bar",
   // will inherit its level from the logger named
   // "com.foo" Thus, the following request is enabled
   // because INFO >= INFO.
   barlogger.info("Located nearest gas station.");

   // This request is disabled, because DEBUG < INFO.
   barlogger.debug("Exiting gas station search");
