How do I log an exception at warning- or info-level with traceback using the python logging framework?
From the logging documentation:
There are three keyword arguments in
kwargs
which are inspected:exc_info
,stack_info
, andextra
.If
exc_info
does not evaluate as false, it causes exception information to be added to the logging message. If an exception tuple (in the format returned bysys.exc_info()
) or an exception instance is provided, it is used; otherwise,sys.exc_info()
is called to get the exception information.
So do:
logger.warning("something raised an exception:", exc_info=True)
Here is one that works (python 2.6.5).
logger.critical("caught exception, traceback =", exc_info=True)
