python logging format code example

Example 1: python logging to file

import logging
import sys

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s | %(levelname)s | %(message)s', 
                              '%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S')

stdout_handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
stdout_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
stdout_handler.setFormatter(formatter)

file_handler = logging.FileHandler('logs.log')
file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)

logger.addHandler(file_handler)
logger.addHandler(stdout_handler)

Example 2: 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 3: logging.logger

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
  
logger.debug("some debugging...")
logger.error("some error...")

Example 4: python log to file and console

import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format="%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(message)s",
    handlers=[
        logging.FileHandler("debug.log"),
        logging.StreamHandler()
    ]
)

Example 5: python logging basiclogging rotatingfilehandler

import logging

rfh = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(
 	filename='foo.log', 
  	mode='a',
  	maxBytes=20*1024*1024,
  	backupCount=2,
  	encoding=None,
  	delay=0
)

logging.basicConfig(
  	level=logging.DEBUG,
  	format="%(asctime)s %(name)-25s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s",
    datefmt="%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
    handlers=[
    	rfh
    ]
)

logger = logging.getLogger('main')

logger.debug("test")

Example 6: python logging basicconfig stdout

root = logging.getLogger()
root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
root.addHandler(handler)
