Logging Cookbook
================
:Author: Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at red-dove dot com>
This page contains a number of recipes related to logging, which have been found
useful in the past. For links to tutorial and reference information, please see
:ref:`cookbook-ref-links`.
.. currentmodule:: logging
Using logging in multiple modules
---------------------------------
Multiple calls to ``logging.getLogger('someLogger')`` return a reference to the
same logger object. This is true not only within the same module, but also
across modules as long as it is in the same Python interpreter process. It is
true for references to the same object; additionally, application code can
define and configure a parent logger in one module and create (but not
configure) a child logger in a separate module, and all logger calls to the
child will pass up to the parent. Here is a main module::
import logging
import auxiliary_module
# create logger with 'spam_application'
logger = logging.getLogger('spam_application')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create file handler which logs even debug messages
fh = logging.FileHandler('spam.log')
fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create console handler with a higher log level
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
# create formatter and add it to the handlers
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
fh.setFormatter(formatter)
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
# add the handlers to the logger
logger.addHandler(fh)
logger.addHandler(ch)
logger.info('creating an instance of auxiliary_module.Auxiliary')
a = auxiliary_module.Auxiliary()
logger.info('created an instance of auxiliary_module.Auxiliary')
logger.info('calling auxiliary_module.Auxiliary.do_something')
a.do_something()
logger.info('finished auxiliary_module.Auxiliary.do_something')
logger.info('calling auxiliary_module.some_function()')
auxiliary_module.some_function()
logger.info('done with auxiliary_module.some_function()')
Here is the auxiliary module::
import logging
# create logger
module_logger = logging.getLogger('spam_application.auxiliary')
class Auxiliary:
def __init__(self):
self.logger = logging.getLogger('spam_application.auxiliary.Auxiliary')
self.logger.info('creating an instance of Auxiliary')
def do_something(self):
self.logger.info('doing something')
a = 1 + 1
self.logger.info('done doing something')
def some_function():
module_logger.info('received a call to "some_function"')
The output looks like this:
.. code-block:: none
2005-03-23 23:47:11,663 - spam_application - INFO -
creating an instance of auxiliary_module.Auxiliary
2005-03-23 23:47:11,665 - spam_application.auxiliary.Auxiliary - INFO -

2005-03-23 23:47:11,665 - spam_application - INFO -

2005-03-23 23:47:11,668 - spam_application - INFO -

2005-03-23 23:47:11,670 - spam_application - INFO -
finished auxiliary_module.Auxiliary.do_something
2005-03-23 23:47:11,671 - spam_application - INFO -

2005-03-23 23:47:11,672 - spam_application.auxiliary - INFO -

2005-03-23 23:47:11,673 - spam_application - INFO -
done with auxiliary_module.some_function()
Logging from multiple threads
-----------------------------
Logging from multiple threads requires no special effort. The following example
shows logging from the main (initial) thread and another thread::
import logging
import threading
import time
def worker(arg):
while not arg['stop']:
logging.debug('Hi from myfunc')
time.sleep(0.5)
def main():
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(relativeCreated)6d %(threadName)s %(message)s')
info = {'stop': False}
thread = threading.Thread(target=worker, args=(info,))
thread.start()
while True:
try:
logging.debug('Hello from main')
time.sleep(0.75)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
info['stop'] = True
break
thread.join()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
When run, the script should print something like the following:
.. code-block:: none
0 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
3 MainThread Hello from main
505 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
755 MainThread Hello from main
1007 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
1507 MainThread Hello from main
1508 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
2010 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
2258 MainThread Hello from main
2512 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
3009 MainThread Hello from main
3013 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
3515 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
3761 MainThread Hello from main
4017 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
4513 MainThread Hello from main
4518 Thread-1 Hi from myfunc
This shows the logging output interspersed as one might expect. This approach
works for more threads than shown here, of course.
Multiple handlers and formatters
--------------------------------
Loggers are plain Python objects. The :meth:`~Logger.addHandler` method has no
minimum or maximum quota for the number of handlers you may add. Sometimes it
will be beneficial for an application to log all messages of all severities to a
text file while simultaneously logging errors or above to the console. To set
this up, simply configure the appropriate handlers. The logging calls in the
application code will remain unchanged. Here is a slight modification to the
previous simple module-based configuration example::
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('simple_example')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create file handler which logs even debug messages
fh = logging.FileHandler('spam.log')
fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create console handler with a higher log level
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
# create formatter and add it to the handlers
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
fh.setFormatter(formatter)
# add the handlers to logger
logger.addHandler(ch)
logger.addHandler(fh)
# 'application' code
logger.debug('debug message')
logger.info('info message')
logger.warning('warn message')
logger.error('error message')
logger.critical('critical message')
Notice that the 'application' code does not care about multiple handlers. All
that changed was the addition and configuration of a new handler named *fh*.
The ability to create new handlers with higher- or lower-severity filters can be
very helpful when writing and testing an application. Instead of using many
``print`` statements for debugging, use ``logger.debug``: Unlike the print
statements, which you will have to delete or comment out later, the logger.debug
statements can remain intact in the source code and remain dormant until you
need them again. At that time, the only change that needs to happen is to
modify the severity level of the logger and/or handler to debug.
.. _multiple-destinations:
Logging to multiple destinations
--------------------------------
Let's say you want to log to console and file with different message formats and
in differing circumstances. Say you want to log messages with levels of DEBUG
and higher to file, and those messages at level INFO and higher to the console.
Let's also assume that the file should contain timestamps, but the console
messages should not. Here's how you can achieve this::
import logging
# set up logging to file - see previous section for more details
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
format='%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s',
datefmt='%m-%d %H:%M',
filename='/tmp/myapp.log',
filemode='w')
# define a Handler which writes INFO messages or higher to the sys.stderr
console = logging.StreamHandler()
console.setLevel(logging.INFO)
# set a format which is simpler for console use
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(name)-12s: %(levelname)-8s %(message)s')
# tell the handler to use this format
console.setFormatter(formatter)
# add the handler to the root logger
logging.getLogger('').addHandler(console)
# Now, we can log to the root logger, or any other logger. First the root...
logging.info('Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.')
# Now, define a couple of other loggers which might represent areas in your
# application:
logger1 = logging.getLogger('myapp.area1')
logger2 = logging.getLogger('myapp.area2')
logger1.debug('Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim.')
logger1.info('How quickly daft jumping zebras vex.')
logger2.warning('Jail zesty vixen who grabbed pay from quack.')
logger2.error('The five boxing wizards jump quickly.')
When you run this, on the console you will see
.. code-block:: none
root : INFO Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
myapp.area1 : INFO How quickly daft jumping zebras vex.
myapp.area2 : WARNING Jail zesty vixen who grabbed pay from quack.
myapp.area2 : ERROR The five boxing wizards jump quickly.
and in the file you will see something like
.. code-block:: none
10-22 22:19 root INFO Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
10-22 22:19 myapp.area1 DEBUG Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim.
10-22 22:19 myapp.area1 INFO How quickly daft jumping zebras vex.
10-22 22:19 myapp.area2 WARNING Jail zesty vixen who grabbed pay from quack.
10-22 22:19 myapp.area2 ERROR The five boxing wizards jump quickly.
As you can see, the DEBUG message only shows up in the file. The other messages
are sent to both destinations.
This example uses console and file handlers, but you can use any number and
combination of handlers you choose.
Note that the above choice of log filename ``/tmp/myapp.log`` implies use of a
standard location for temporary files on POSIX systems. On Windows, you may need to
choose a different directory name for the log - just ensure that the directory exists
and that you have the permissions to create and update files in it.
.. _custom-level-handling:
Custom handling of levels
-------------------------
Sometimes, you might want to do something slightly different from the standard
handling of levels in handlers, where all levels above a threshold get
processed by a handler. To do this, you need to use filters. Let's look at a
scenario where you want to arrange things as follows:
* Send messages of severity ``INFO`` and ``WARNING`` to ``sys.stdout``
* Send messages of severity ``ERROR`` and above to ``sys.stderr``
* Send messages of severity ``DEBUG`` and above to file ``app.log``
Suppose you configure logging with the following JSON:
.. code-block:: json
{
"version": 1,
"disable_existing_loggers": false,
"formatters": {
"simple": {
"format": "%(levelname)-8s - %(message)s"
}
},
"handlers": {
"stdout": {
"class": "logging.StreamHandler",
"level": "INFO",
"formatter": "simple",
"stream": "ext://sys.stdout",
},
"stderr": {
"class": "logging.StreamHandler",
"level": "ERROR",
"formatter": "simple",
"stream": "ext://sys.stderr"
},
"file": {
"class": "logging.FileHandler",
"formatter": "simple",
"filename": "app.log",
"mode": "w"
}
},
"root": {
"level": "DEBUG",
"handlers": [
"stderr",
"stdout",
"file"
]
}
}
This configuration does *almost* what we want, except that ``sys.stdout`` would
show messages of severity ``ERROR`` and above as well as ``INFO`` and
``WARNING`` messages. To prevent this, we can set up a filter which excludes
those messages and add it to the relevant handler. This can be configured by
adding a ``filters`` section parallel to ``formatters`` and ``handlers``:
.. code-block:: json
"filters": {
"warnings_and_below": {
"()" : "__main__.filter_maker",
"level": "WARNING"
}
}
and changing the section on the ``stdout`` handler to add it:
.. code-block:: json
"stdout": {
"class": "logging.StreamHandler",
"level": "INFO",
"formatter": "simple",
"stream": "ext://sys.stdout",
"filters": ["warnings_and_below"]
}
A filter is just a function, so we can define the ``filter_maker`` (a factory
function) as follows:
.. code-block:: python
def filter_maker(level):
level = getattr(logging, level)
def filter(record):
return record.levelno <= level
return filter
This converts the string argument passed in to a numeric level, and returns a
function which only returns ``True`` if the level of the passed in record is
at or below the specified level. Note that in this example I have defined the
``filter_maker`` in a test script ``main.py`` that I run from the command line,
so its module will be ``__main__`` - hence the ``__main__.filter_maker`` in the
filter configuration. You will need to change that if you define it in a
different module.
With the filter added, we can run ``main.py``, which in full is:
.. code-block:: python
import json
import logging
import logging.config
CONFIG = '''
{
"version": 1,
"disable_existing_loggers": false,
"formatters": {
"simple": {
"format": "%(levelname)-8s - %(message)s"
}
},
"filters": {
"warnings_and_below": {
"()" : "__main__.filter_maker",
"level": "WARNING"
}
},
"handlers": {
"stdout": {
"class": "logging.StreamHandler",
"level": "INFO",
"formatter": "simple",
"stream": "ext://sys.stdout",
"filters": ["warnings_and_below"]
},
"stderr": {
"class": "logging.StreamHandler",
"level": "ERROR",
"formatter": "simple",
"stream": "ext://sys.stderr"
},
"file": {
"class": "logging.FileHandler",
"formatter": "simple",
"filename": "app.log",
"mode": "w"
}
},
"root": {
"level": "DEBUG",
"handlers": [
"stderr",
"stdout",
"file"
]
}
}
'''
def filter_maker(level):
level = getattr(logging, level)
def filter(record):
return record.levelno <= level
return filter
logging.config.dictConfig(json.loads(CONFIG))
logging.debug('A DEBUG message')
logging.info('An INFO message')
logging.warning('A WARNING message')
logging.error('An ERROR message')
logging.critical('A CRITICAL message')
And after running it like this:
.. code-block:: shell
python main.py 2>stderr.log >stdout.log
We can see the results are as expected:
.. code-block:: shell
$ more *.log
::::::::::::::
app.log
::::::::::::::
DEBUG - A DEBUG message
INFO - An INFO message
WARNING - A WARNING message
ERROR - An ERROR message
CRITICAL - A CRITICAL message
::::::::::::::
stderr.log
::::::::::::::
ERROR - An ERROR message
CRITICAL - A CRITICAL message
::::::::::::::
stdout.log
::::::::::::::
INFO - An INFO message
WARNING - A WARNING message
Configuration server example
----------------------------
Here is an example of a module using the logging configuration server::
import logging
import logging.config
import time
import os
# read initial config file
logging.config.fileConfig('logging.conf')
# create and start listener on port 9999
t = logging.config.listen(9999)
t.start()
logger = logging.getLogger('simpleExample')
try:
# loop through logging calls to see the difference
# new configurations make, until Ctrl+C is pressed
while True:
logger.debug('debug message')
logger.info('info message')
logger.warning('warn message')
logger.error('error message')
logger.critical('critical message')
time.sleep(5)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# cleanup
logging.config.stopListening()
t.join()
And here is a script that takes a filename and sends that file to the server,
properly preceded with the binary-encoded length, as the new logging
configuration::
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket, sys, struct
with open(sys.argv[1], 'rb') as f:
data_to_send = f.read()
HOST = 'localhost'
PORT = 9999
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
print('connecting...')
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
print('sending config...')
s.send(struct.pack('>L', len(data_to_send)))
s.send(data_to_send)
s.close()
print('complete')
.. _blocking-handlers:
Dealing with handlers that block
--------------------------------
.. currentmodule:: logging.handlers
Sometimes you have to get your logging handlers to do their work without
blocking the thread you're logging from. This is common in web applications,
though of course it also occurs in other scenarios.
A common culprit which demonstrates sluggish behaviour is the
:class:`SMTPHandler`: sending emails can take a long time, for a
number of reasons outside the developer's control (for example, a poorly
performing mail or network infrastructure). But almost any network-based
handler can block: Even a :class:`SocketHandler` operation may do a
DNS query under the hood which is too slow (and this query can be deep in the
socket library code, below the Python layer, and outside your control).
One solution is to use a two-part approach. For the first part, attach only a
:class:`QueueHandler` to those loggers which are accessed from
performance-critical threads. They simply write to their queue, which can be
sized to a large enough capacity or initialized with no upper bound to their
size. The write to the queue will typically be accepted quickly, though you
will probably need to catch the :exc:`queue.Full` exception as a precaution
in your code. If you are a library developer who has performance-critical
threads in their code, be sure to document this (together with a suggestion to
attach only ``QueueHandlers`` to your loggers) for the benefit of other
developers who will use your code.
The second part of the solution is :class:`QueueListener`, which has been
designed as the counterpart to :class:`QueueHandler`. A
:class:`QueueListener` is very simple: it's passed a queue and some handlers,
and it fires up an internal thread which listens to its queue for LogRecords
sent from ``QueueHandlers`` (or any other source of ``LogRecords``, for that
matter). The ``LogRecords`` are removed from the queue and passed to the
handlers for processing.
The advantage of having a separate :class:`QueueListener` class is that you
can use the same instance to service multiple ``QueueHandlers``. This is more
resource-friendly than, say, having threaded versions of the existing handler
classes, which would eat up one thread per handler for no particular benefit.
An example of using these two classes follows (imports omitted)::
que = queue.Queue(-1) # no limit on size
queue_handler = QueueHandler(que)
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
listener = QueueListener(que, handler)
root = logging.getLogger()
root.addHandler(queue_handler)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(threadName)s: %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
listener.start()
# The log output will display the thread which generated
# the event (the main thread) rather than the internal
# thread which monitors the internal queue. This is what
# you want to happen.
root.warning('Look out!')
listener.stop()
which, when run, will produce:
.. code-block:: none
MainThread: Look out!
.. note:: Although the earlier discussion wasn't specifically talking about
async code, but rather about slow logging handlers, it should be noted that
when logging from async code, network and even file handlers could lead to
problems (blocking the event loop) because some logging is done from
:mod:`asyncio` internals. It might be best, if any async code is used in an
application, to use the above approach for logging, so that any blocking code
runs only in the ``QueueListener`` thread.
.. versionchanged:: 3.5
Prior to Python 3.5, the :class:`QueueListener` always passed every message
received from the queue to every handler it was initialized with. (This was
because it was assumed that level filtering was all done on the other side,
where the queue is filled.) From 3.5 onwards, this behaviour can be changed
by passing a keyword argument ``respect_handler_level=True`` to the
listener's constructor. When this is done, the listener compares the level
of each message with the handler's level, and only passes a message to a
handler if it's appropriate to do so.
.. _network-logging:
Sending and receiving logging events across a network
-----------------------------------------------------
Let's say you want to send logging events across a network, and handle them at
the receiving end. A simple way of doing this is attaching a
:class:`SocketHandler` instance to the root logger at the sending end::
import logging, logging.handlers
rootLogger = logging.getLogger('')
rootLogger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
socketHandler = logging.handlers.SocketHandler('localhost',
logging.handlers.DEFAULT_TCP_LOGGING_PORT)
# don't bother with a formatter, since a socket handler sends the event as
# an unformatted pickle
rootLogger.addHandler(socketHandler)
# Now, we can log to the root logger, or any other logger. First the root...
logging.info('Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.')
# Now, define a couple of other loggers which might represent areas in your
# application:
logger1 = logging.getLogger('myapp.area1')
logger2 = logging.getLogger('myapp.area2')
logger1.debug('Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim.')
logger1.info('How quickly daft jumping zebras vex.')
logger2.warning('Jail zesty vixen who grabbed pay from quack.')
logger2.error('The five boxing wizards jump quickly.')
At the receiving end, you can set up a receiver using the :mod:`socketserver`
module. Here is a basic working example::
import pickle
import logging
import logging.handlers
import socketserver
import struct
class LogRecordStreamHandler(socketserver.StreamRequestHandler):

Running a logging socket listener in production
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. _socket-listener-gist: https://gist.github.com/vsajip/4b227eeec43817465ca835ca66f75e2b
To run a logging listener in production, you may need to use a
process-management tool such as `Supervisor <http://supervisord.org/>`_.
`Here is a Gist <socket-listener-gist_>`__
which provides the bare-bones files to run the above functionality using
Supervisor. It consists of the following files:
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| File | Purpose |
+=========================+====================================================+
| :file:`prepare.sh` | A Bash script to prepare the environment for |
| | testing |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :file:`supervisor.conf` | The Supervisor configuration file, which has |
| | entries for the listener and a multi-process web |
| | application |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :file:`ensure_app.sh` | A Bash script to ensure that Supervisor is running |
| | with the above configuration |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :file:`log_listener.py` | The socket listener program which receives log |
| | events and records them to a file |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :file:`main.py` | A simple web application which performs logging |
| | via a socket connected to the listener |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :file:`webapp.json` | A JSON configuration file for the web application |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| :file:`client.py` | A Python script to exercise the web application |
+-------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
The web application uses `Gunicorn <https://gunicorn.org/>`_, which is a
popular web application server that starts multiple worker processes to handle
requests. This example setup shows how the workers can write to the same log file
without conflicting with one another --- they all go through the socket listener.
To test these files, do the following in a POSIX environment:
#. Download `the Gist <socket-listener-gist_>`__
as a ZIP archive using the :guilabel:`Download ZIP` button.
#. Unzip the above files from the archive into a scratch directory.
#. In the scratch directory, run ``bash prepare.sh`` to get things ready.
This creates a :file:`run` subdirectory to contain Supervisor-related and
log files, and a :file:`venv` subdirectory to contain a virtual environment
into which ``bottle``, ``gunicorn`` and ``supervisor`` are installed.
#. Run ``bash ensure_app.sh`` to ensure that Supervisor is running with
the above configuration.
#. Run ``venv/bin/python client.py`` to exercise the web application,
which will lead to records being written to the log.
#. Inspect the log files in the :file:`run` subdirectory. You should see the
most recent log lines in files matching the pattern :file:`app.log*`. They won't be in
any particular order, since they have been handled concurrently by different
worker processes in a non-deterministic way.
#. You can shut down the listener and the web application by running
``venv/bin/supervisorctl -c supervisor.conf shutdown``.
You may need to tweak the configuration files in the unlikely event that the
configured ports clash with something else in your test environment.
.. _context-info:
Adding contextual information to your logging output
----------------------------------------------------
Sometimes you want logging output to contain contextual information in
addition to the parameters passed to the logging call. For example, in a
networked application, it may be desirable to log client-specific information
in the log (e.g. remote client's username, or IP address). Although you could
use the *extra* parameter to achieve this, it's not always convenient to pass
the information in this way. While it might be tempting to create
:class:`Logger` instances on a per-connection basis, this is not a good idea
because these instances are not garbage collected. While this is not a problem
in practice, when the number of :class:`Logger` instances is dependent on the
level of granularity you want to use in logging an application, it could
be hard to manage if the number of :class:`Logger` instances becomes
effectively unbounded.
Using LoggerAdapters to impart contextual information
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An easy way in which you can pass contextual information to be output along
with logging event information is to use the :class:`LoggerAdapter` class.
This class is designed to look like a :class:`Logger`, so that you can call
:meth:`debug`, :meth:`info`, :meth:`warning`, :meth:`error`,
:meth:`exception`, :meth:`critical` and :meth:`log`. These methods have the
same signatures as their counterparts in :class:`Logger`, so you can use the
two types of instances interchangeably.
When you create an instance of :class:`LoggerAdapter`, you pass it a
:class:`Logger` instance and a dict-like object which contains your contextual
information. When you call one of the logging methods on an instance of
:class:`LoggerAdapter`, it delegates the call to the underlying instance of
:class:`Logger` passed to its constructor, and arranges to pass the contextual
information in the delegated call. Here's a snippet from the code of
:class:`LoggerAdapter`::
def debug(self, msg, /, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Delegate a debug call to the underlying logger, after adding
contextual information from this adapter instance.
"""
msg, kwargs = self.process(msg, kwargs)
self.logger.debug(msg, *args, **kwargs)
The :meth:`~LoggerAdapter.process` method of :class:`LoggerAdapter` is where the
contextual information is added to the logging output. It's passed the message
and keyword arguments of the logging call, and it passes back (potentially)
modified versions of these to use in the call to the underlying logger. The
default implementation of this method leaves the message alone, but inserts
an 'extra' key in the keyword argument whose value is the dict-like object
passed to the constructor. Of course, if you had passed an 'extra' keyword
argument in the call to the adapter, it will be silently overwritten.
The advantage of using 'extra' is that the values in the dict-like object are
merged into the :class:`LogRecord` instance's __dict__, allowing you to use
customized strings with your :class:`Formatter` instances which know about
the keys of the dict-like object. If you need a different method, e.g. if you
want to prepend or append the contextual information to the message string,
you just need to subclass :class:`LoggerAdapter` and override
:meth:`~LoggerAdapter.process` to do what you need. Here is a simple example::
class CustomAdapter(logging.LoggerAdapter):
"""
This example adapter expects the passed in dict-like object to have a
'connid' key, whose value in brackets is prepended to the log message.
"""
def process(self, msg, kwargs):
return '[%s] %s' % (self.extra['connid'], msg), kwargs
which you can use like this::
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
adapter = CustomAdapter(logger, {'connid': some_conn_id})
Then any events that you log to the adapter will have the value of
``some_conn_id`` prepended to the log messages.
Using objects other than dicts to pass contextual information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You don't need to pass an actual dict to a :class:`LoggerAdapter` - you could
pass an instance of a class which implements ``__getitem__`` and ``__iter__`` so
that it looks like a dict to logging. This would be useful if you want to
generate values dynamically (whereas the values in a dict would be constant).
.. _filters-contextual:
Using Filters to impart contextual information
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can also add contextual information to log output using a user-defined
:class:`Filter`. ``Filter`` instances are allowed to modify the ``LogRecords``
passed to them, including adding additional attributes which can then be output
using a suitable format string, or if needed a custom :class:`Formatter`.
For example in a web application, the request being processed (or at least,
the interesting parts of it) can be stored in a threadlocal
(:class:`threading.local`) variable, and then accessed from a ``Filter`` to
add, say, information from the request - say, the remote IP address and remote
user's username - to the ``LogRecord``, using the attribute names 'ip' and
'user' as in the ``LoggerAdapter`` example above. In that case, the same format
string can be used to get similar output to that shown above. Here's an example
script::
import logging
from random import choice
class ContextFilter(logging.Filter):
"""
This is a filter which injects contextual information into the log.
Rather than use actual contextual information, we just use random
data in this demo.
"""
USERS = ['jim', 'fred', 'sheila']
IPS = ['123.231.231.123', '127.0.0.1', '192.168.0.1']
def filter(self, record):
record.ip = choice(ContextFilter.IPS)
record.user = choice(ContextFilter.USERS)
return True
if __name__ == '__main__':
levels = (logging.DEBUG, logging.INFO, logging.WARNING, logging.ERROR, logging.CRITICAL)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
format='%(asctime)-15s %(name)-5s %(levelname)-8s IP: %(ip)-15s User: %(user)-8s %(message)s')
a1 = logging.getLogger('a.b.c')
a2 = logging.getLogger('d.e.f')
f = ContextFilter()
a1.addFilter(f)
a2.addFilter(f)
a1.debug('A debug message')
a1.info('An info message with %s', 'some parameters')
for x in range(10):
lvl = choice(levels)
lvlname = logging.getLevelName(lvl)
a2.log(lvl, 'A message at %s level with %d %s', lvlname, 2, 'parameters')
which, when run, produces something like:
.. code-block:: none

Use of ``contextvars``
----------------------
Since Python 3.7, the :mod:`contextvars` module has provided context-local storage
which works for both :mod:`threading` and :mod:`asyncio` processing needs. This type
of storage may thus be generally preferable to thread-locals. The following example
shows how, in a multi-threaded environment, logs can populated with contextual
information such as, for example, request attributes handled by web applications.
For the purposes of illustration, say that you have different web applications, each
independent of the other but running in the same Python process and using a library
common to them. How can each of these applications have their own log, where all
logging messages from the library (and other request processing code) are directed to
the appropriate application's log file, while including in the log additional
contextual information such as client IP, HTTP request method and client username?
Let's assume that the library can be simulated by the following code:
.. code-block:: python
# webapplib.py
import logging
import time
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def useful():
# Just a representative event logged from the library
logger.debug('Hello from webapplib!')
# Just sleep for a bit so other threads get to run
time.sleep(0.01)
We can simulate the multiple web applications by means of two simple classes,
``Request`` and ``WebApp``. These simulate how real threaded web applications work -
each request is handled by a thread:
.. code-block:: python
# main.py
import argparse
from contextvars import ContextVar
import logging
import os
from random import choice
import threading
import webapplib
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
root = logging.getLogger()
root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
class Request:
"""

self.ip = ip
self.user = user

# are represented in the sample requests.

If you run the above, you should find that roughly half the requests go
into :file:`app1.log` and the rest into :file:`app2.log`, and the all the requests are
logged to :file:`app.log`. Each webapp-specific log will contain only log entries for
only that webapp, and the request information will be displayed consistently in the
log (i.e. the information in each dummy request will always appear together in a log
line). This is illustrated by the following shell output:

Imparting contextual information in handlers
--------------------------------------------
Each :class:`~Handler` has its own chain of filters.
If you want to add contextual information to a :class:`LogRecord` without leaking
it to other handlers, you can use a filter that returns
a new :class:`~LogRecord` instead of modifying it in-place, as shown in the following script::
import copy
import logging
def filter(record: logging.LogRecord):
record = copy.copy(record)
record.user = 'jim'
return record
if __name__ == '__main__':
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(message)s from %(user)-8s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
handler.addFilter(filter)
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.info('A log message')
.. _multiple-processes:
Logging to a single file from multiple processes
------------------------------------------------
Although logging is thread-safe, and logging to a single file from multiple
threads in a single process *is* supported, logging to a single file from
*multiple processes* is *not* supported, because there is no standard way to
serialize access to a single file across multiple processes in Python. If you
need to log to a single file from multiple processes, one way of doing this is
to have all the processes log to a :class:`~handlers.SocketHandler`, and have a
separate process which implements a socket server which reads from the socket
and logs to file. (If you prefer, you can dedicate one thread in one of the
existing processes to perform this function.)
:ref:`This section <network-logging>` documents this approach in more detail and
includes a working socket receiver which can be used as a starting point for you
to adapt in your own applications.
You could also write your own handler which uses the :class:`~multiprocessing.Lock`
class from the :mod:`multiprocessing` module to serialize access to the
file from your processes. The existing :class:`FileHandler` and subclasses do
not make use of :mod:`multiprocessing` at present, though they may do so in the
future. Note that at present, the :mod:`multiprocessing` module does not provide
working lock functionality on all platforms (see
https://bugs.python.org/issue3770).
.. currentmodule:: logging.handlers
Alternatively, you can use a ``Queue`` and a :class:`QueueHandler` to send
all logging events to one of the processes in your multi-process application.
The following example script demonstrates how you can do this; in the example
a separate listener process listens for events sent by other processes and logs
them according to its own logging configuration. Although the example only
demonstrates one way of doing it (for example, you may want to use a listener
thread rather than a separate listener process -- the implementation would be
analogous) it does allow for completely different logging configurations for
the listener and the other processes in your application, and can be used as
the basis for code meeting your own specific requirements::
# You'll need these imports in your own code
import logging
import logging.handlers
import multiprocessing
# Next two import lines for this demo only
from random import choice, random
import time
#
# Because you'll want to define the logging configurations for listener and workers, the
# listener and worker process functions take a configurer parameter which is a callable
# for configuring logging for that process. These functions are also passed the queue,
# which they use for communication.
#
# In practice, you can configure the listener however you want, but note that in this
# simple example, the listener does not apply level or filter logic to received records.
# In practice, you would probably want to do this logic in the worker processes, to avoid
# sending events which would be filtered out between processes.
#
# The size of the rotated files is made small so you can see the results easily.

root = logging.getLogger()
h = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler('mptest.log', 'a', 300, 10)

h.setFormatter(f)

for wp in workers:

lp.join()
This variant shows how you can e.g. apply configuration for particular loggers
- e.g. the ``foo`` logger has a special handler which stores all events in the
``foo`` subsystem in a file ``mplog-foo.log``. This will be used by the logging
machinery in the main process (even though the logging events are generated in
the worker processes) to direct the messages to the appropriate destinations.
Using concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to use :class:`concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor` to start
your worker processes, you need to create the queue slightly differently.
Instead of
.. code-block:: python
queue = multiprocessing.Queue(-1)
you should use
.. code-block:: python
queue = multiprocessing.Manager().Queue(-1) # also works with the examples above
and you can then replace the worker creation from this::
workers = []
for i in range(10):
worker = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker_process,
args=(queue, worker_configurer))
workers.append(worker)
worker.start()
for w in workers:
w.join()
to this (remembering to first import :mod:`concurrent.futures`)::
with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as executor:
for i in range(10):
executor.submit(worker_process, queue, worker_configurer)
Deploying Web applications using Gunicorn and uWSGI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When deploying Web applications using `Gunicorn <https://gunicorn.org/>`_ or `uWSGI
<https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ (or similar), multiple worker
processes are created to handle client requests. In such environments, avoid creating
file-based handlers directly in your web application. Instead, use a
:class:`SocketHandler` to log from the web application to a listener in a separate
process. This can be set up using a process management tool such as Supervisor - see
`Running a logging socket listener in production`_ for more details.
Using file rotation
-------------------
.. sectionauthor:: Doug Hellmann, Vinay Sajip (changes)
.. (see <https://pymotw.com/3/logging/>)
Sometimes you want to let a log file grow to a certain size, then open a new
file and log to that. You may want to keep a certain number of these files, and
when that many files have been created, rotate the files so that the number of
files and the size of the files both remain bounded. For this usage pattern, the
logging package provides a :class:`~handlers.RotatingFileHandler`::
import glob
import logging
import logging.handlers
LOG_FILENAME = 'logging_rotatingfile_example.out'
# Set up a specific logger with our desired output level
my_logger = logging.getLogger('MyLogger')
my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# Add the log message handler to the logger
handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(
LOG_FILENAME, maxBytes=20, backupCount=5)
my_logger.addHandler(handler)
# Log some messages
for i in range(20):
my_logger.debug('i = %d' % i)
# See what files are created
logfiles = glob.glob('%s*' % LOG_FILENAME)
for filename in logfiles:
print(filename)
The result should be 6 separate files, each with part of the log history for the
application:
.. code-block:: none
logging_rotatingfile_example.out
logging_rotatingfile_example.out.1
logging_rotatingfile_example.out.2
logging_rotatingfile_example.out.3
logging_rotatingfile_example.out.4
logging_rotatingfile_example.out.5
The most current file is always :file:`logging_rotatingfile_example.out`,
and each time it reaches the size limit it is renamed with the suffix
``.1``. Each of the existing backup files is renamed to increment the suffix
(``.1`` becomes ``.2``, etc.) and the ``.6`` file is erased.
Obviously this example sets the log length much too small as an extreme
example. You would want to set *maxBytes* to an appropriate value.
.. _format-styles:
Use of alternative formatting styles
------------------------------------
When logging was added to the Python standard library, the only way of
formatting messages with variable content was to use the %-formatting
method. Since then, Python has gained two new formatting approaches:
:class:`string.Template` (added in Python 2.4) and :meth:`str.format`
(added in Python 2.6).
Logging (as of 3.2) provides improved support for these two additional
formatting styles. The :class:`Formatter` class been enhanced to take an
additional, optional keyword parameter named ``style``. This defaults to
``'%'``, but other possible values are ``'{'`` and ``'$'``, which correspond
to the other two formatting styles. Backwards compatibility is maintained by
default (as you would expect), but by explicitly specifying a style parameter,
you get the ability to specify format strings which work with
:meth:`str.format` or :class:`string.Template`. Here's an example console
session to show the possibilities:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import logging
>>> root = logging.getLogger()
>>> root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
>>> handler = logging.StreamHandler()
>>> bf = logging.Formatter('{asctime} {name} {levelname:8s} {message}',
... style='{')
>>> handler.setFormatter(bf)
>>> root.addHandler(handler)
>>> logger = logging.getLogger('foo.bar')
>>> logger.debug('This is a DEBUG message')
2010-10-28 15:11:55,341 foo.bar DEBUG This is a DEBUG message
>>> logger.critical('This is a CRITICAL message')
2010-10-28 15:12:11,526 foo.bar CRITICAL This is a CRITICAL message
>>> df = logging.Formatter('$asctime $name ${levelname} $message',
... style='$')
>>> handler.setFormatter(df)
>>> logger.debug('This is a DEBUG message')
2010-10-28 15:13:06,924 foo.bar DEBUG This is a DEBUG message
>>> logger.critical('This is a CRITICAL message')
2010-10-28 15:13:11,494 foo.bar CRITICAL This is a CRITICAL message
>>>
Note that the formatting of logging messages for final output to logs is
completely independent of how an individual logging message is constructed.
That can still use %-formatting, as shown here::
>>> logger.error('This is an%s %s %s', 'other,', 'ERROR,', 'message')
2010-10-28 15:19:29,833 foo.bar ERROR This is another, ERROR, message
>>>
Logging calls (``logger.debug()``, ``logger.info()`` etc.) only take
positional parameters for the actual logging message itself, with keyword
parameters used only for determining options for how to handle the actual
logging call (e.g. the ``exc_info`` keyword parameter to indicate that
traceback information should be logged, or the ``extra`` keyword parameter
to indicate additional contextual information to be added to the log). So
you cannot directly make logging calls using :meth:`str.format` or
:class:`string.Template` syntax, because internally the logging package
uses %-formatting to merge the format string and the variable arguments.
There would be no changing this while preserving backward compatibility, since
all logging calls which are out there in existing code will be using %-format
strings.
There is, however, a way that you can use {}- and $- formatting to construct
your individual log messages. Recall that for a message you can use an
arbitrary object as a message format string, and that the logging package will
call ``str()`` on that object to get the actual format string. Consider the
following two classes::
class BraceMessage:
def __init__(self, fmt, /, *args, **kwargs):
self.fmt = fmt
self.args = args
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __str__(self):
return self.fmt.format(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
class DollarMessage:
def __init__(self, fmt, /, **kwargs):
self.fmt = fmt
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __str__(self):
from string import Template
return Template(self.fmt).substitute(**self.kwargs)
Either of these can be used in place of a format string, to allow {}- or
$-formatting to be used to build the actual "message" part which appears in the
formatted log output in place of "%(message)s" or "{message}" or "$message".
It's a little unwieldy to use the class names whenever you want to log
something, but it's quite palatable if you use an alias such as __ (double
underscore --- not to be confused with _, the single underscore used as a
synonym/alias for :func:`gettext.gettext` or its brethren).
The above classes are not included in Python, though they're easy enough to
copy and paste into your own code. They can be used as follows (assuming that
they're declared in a module called ``wherever``):
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> from wherever import BraceMessage as __
>>> print(__('Message with {0} {name}', 2, name='placeholders'))
Message with 2 placeholders
>>> class Point: pass
...
>>> p = Point()
>>> p.x = 0.5
>>> p.y = 0.5
>>> print(__('Message with coordinates: ({point.x:.2f}, {point.y:.2f})',
... point=p))
Message with coordinates: (0.50, 0.50)
>>> from wherever import DollarMessage as __
>>> print(__('Message with $num $what', num=2, what='placeholders'))
Message with 2 placeholders
>>>
While the above examples use ``print()`` to show how the formatting works, you
would of course use ``logger.debug()`` or similar to actually log using this
approach.
One thing to note is that you pay no significant performance penalty with this
approach: the actual formatting happens not when you make the logging call, but
when (and if) the logged message is actually about to be output to a log by a
handler. So the only slightly unusual thing which might trip you up is that the
parentheses go around the format string and the arguments, not just the format
string. That's because the __ notation is just syntax sugar for a constructor
call to one of the XXXMessage classes.
If you prefer, you can use a :class:`LoggerAdapter` to achieve a similar effect
to the above, as in the following example::
import logging
class Message:
def __init__(self, fmt, args):
self.fmt = fmt
self.args = args
def __str__(self):
return self.fmt.format(*self.args)
class StyleAdapter(logging.LoggerAdapter):
def __init__(self, logger, extra=None):
super().__init__(logger, extra or {})
def log(self, level, msg, /, *args, **kwargs):
if self.isEnabledFor(level):
msg, kwargs = self.process(msg, kwargs)
self.logger._log(level, Message(msg, args), (), **kwargs)
logger = StyleAdapter(logging.getLogger(__name__))
def main():
logger.debug('Hello, {}', 'world!')
if __name__ == '__main__':
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
main()
The above script should log the message ``Hello, world!`` when run with
Python 3.2 or later.
.. currentmodule:: logging
.. _custom-logrecord:
Customizing ``LogRecord``
-------------------------
Every logging event is represented by a :class:`LogRecord` instance.
When an event is logged and not filtered out by a logger's level, a
:class:`LogRecord` is created, populated with information about the event and
then passed to the handlers for that logger (and its ancestors, up to and
including the logger where further propagation up the hierarchy is disabled).
Before Python 3.2, there were only two places where this creation was done:
* :meth:`Logger.makeRecord`, which is called in the normal process of
logging an event. This invoked :class:`LogRecord` directly to create an
instance.
* :func:`makeLogRecord`, which is called with a dictionary containing
attributes to be added to the LogRecord. This is typically invoked when a
suitable dictionary has been received over the network (e.g. in pickle form
via a :class:`~handlers.SocketHandler`, or in JSON form via an
:class:`~handlers.HTTPHandler`).
This has usually meant that if you need to do anything special with a
:class:`LogRecord`, you've had to do one of the following.
* Create your own :class:`Logger` subclass, which overrides
:meth:`Logger.makeRecord`, and set it using :func:`~logging.setLoggerClass`
before any loggers that you care about are instantiated.
* Add a :class:`Filter` to a logger or handler, which does the
necessary special manipulation you need when its
:meth:`~Filter.filter` method is called.
The first approach would be a little unwieldy in the scenario where (say)
several different libraries wanted to do different things. Each would attempt
to set its own :class:`Logger` subclass, and the one which did this last would
win.
The second approach works reasonably well for many cases, but does not allow
you to e.g. use a specialized subclass of :class:`LogRecord`. Library
developers can set a suitable filter on their loggers, but they would have to
remember to do this every time they introduced a new logger (which they would
do simply by adding new packages or modules and doing ::
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
at module level). It's probably one too many things to think about. Developers
could also add the filter to a :class:`~logging.NullHandler` attached to their
top-level logger, but this would not be invoked if an application developer
attached a handler to a lower-level library logger --- so output from that
handler would not reflect the intentions of the library developer.
In Python 3.2 and later, :class:`~logging.LogRecord` creation is done through a
factory, which you can specify. The factory is just a callable you can set with
:func:`~logging.setLogRecordFactory`, and interrogate with
:func:`~logging.getLogRecordFactory`. The factory is invoked with the same
signature as the :class:`~logging.LogRecord` constructor, as :class:`LogRecord`
is the default setting for the factory.
This approach allows a custom factory to control all aspects of LogRecord
creation. For example, you could return a subclass, or just add some additional
attributes to the record once created, using a pattern similar to this::
old_factory = logging.getLogRecordFactory()
def record_factory(*args, **kwargs):
record = old_factory(*args, **kwargs)
record.custom_attribute = 0xdecafbad
return record
logging.setLogRecordFactory(record_factory)
This pattern allows different libraries to chain factories together, and as
long as they don't overwrite each other's attributes or unintentionally
overwrite the attributes provided as standard, there should be no surprises.
However, it should be borne in mind that each link in the chain adds run-time
overhead to all logging operations, and the technique should only be used when
the use of a :class:`Filter` does not provide the desired result.
.. _zeromq-handlers:
Subclassing QueueHandler - a ZeroMQ example
-------------------------------------------
You can use a :class:`QueueHandler` subclass to send messages to other kinds
of queues, for example a ZeroMQ 'publish' socket. In the example below,the
socket is created separately and passed to the handler (as its 'queue')::
import zmq # using pyzmq, the Python binding for ZeroMQ
import json # for serializing records portably
ctx = zmq.Context()
sock = zmq.Socket(ctx, zmq.PUB) # or zmq.PUSH, or other suitable value
sock.bind('tcp://*:5556') # or wherever
class ZeroMQSocketHandler(QueueHandler):
def enqueue(self, record):
self.queue.send_json(record.__dict__)
handler = ZeroMQSocketHandler(sock)
Of course there are other ways of organizing this, for example passing in the
data needed by the handler to create the socket::
class ZeroMQSocketHandler(QueueHandler):
def __init__(self, uri, socktype=zmq.PUB, ctx=None):
self.ctx = ctx or zmq.Context()
socket = zmq.Socket(self.ctx, socktype)
socket.bind(uri)
super().__init__(socket)
def enqueue(self, record):
self.queue.send_json(record.__dict__)
def close(self):
self.queue.close()
Subclassing QueueListener - a ZeroMQ example
--------------------------------------------
You can also subclass :class:`QueueListener` to get messages from other kinds
of queues, for example a ZeroMQ 'subscribe' socket. Here's an example::
class ZeroMQSocketListener(QueueListener):
def __init__(self, uri, /, *handlers, **kwargs):
self.ctx = kwargs.get('ctx') or zmq.Context()
socket = zmq.Socket(self.ctx, zmq.SUB)
socket.setsockopt_string(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, '') # subscribe to everything
socket.connect(uri)
super().__init__(socket, *handlers, **kwargs)
def dequeue(self):
msg = self.queue.recv_json()
return logging.makeLogRecord(msg)

An example dictionary-based configuration
-----------------------------------------
Below is an example of a logging configuration dictionary - it's taken from
the `documentation on the Django project <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/logging/#configuring-logging>`_.
This dictionary is passed to :func:`~config.dictConfig` to put the configuration into effect::
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': True,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
},
'simple': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
},
},
'filters': {
'special': {
'()': 'project.logging.SpecialFilter',
'foo': 'bar',
}
},
'handlers': {
'null': {
'level':'DEBUG',
'class':'django.utils.log.NullHandler',
},
'console':{
'level':'DEBUG',
'class':'logging.StreamHandler',

},
'mail_admins': {

}
},

}
}
}

.. _cookbook-rotator-namer:
Using a rotator and namer to customize log rotation processing
--------------------------------------------------------------
An example of how you can define a namer and rotator is given in the following
snippet, which shows zlib-based compression of the log file::
def namer(name):
return name + ".gz"
def rotator(source, dest):
with open(source, "rb") as sf:
data = sf.read()
compressed = zlib.compress(data, 9)
with open(dest, "wb") as df:
df.write(compressed)
os.remove(source)
rh = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(...)
rh.rotator = rotator
rh.namer = namer
These are not "true" .gz files, as they are bare compressed data, with no
"container" such as you’d find in an actual gzip file. This snippet is just
for illustration purposes.
A more elaborate multiprocessing example
----------------------------------------
The following working example shows how logging can be used with multiprocessing
using configuration files. The configurations are fairly simple, but serve to
illustrate how more complex ones could be implemented in a real multiprocessing
scenario.
In the example, the main process spawns a listener process and some worker
processes. Each of the main process, the listener and the workers have three
separate configurations (the workers all share the same configuration). We can
see logging in the main process, how the workers log to a QueueHandler and how
the listener implements a QueueListener and a more complex logging
configuration, and arranges to dispatch events received via the queue to the
handlers specified in the configuration. Note that these configurations are
purely illustrative, but you should be able to adapt this example to your own
scenario.
Here's the script - the docstrings and the comments hopefully explain how it
works::
import logging
import logging.config
import logging.handlers
from multiprocessing import Process, Queue, Event, current_process
import os
import random
import time
class MyHandler:
"""
A simple handler for logging events. It runs in the listener process and
dispatches events to loggers based on the name in the received record,
which then get dispatched, by the logging system, to the handlers
configured for those loggers.
"""
def handle(self, record):
if record.name == "root":
logger = logging.getLogger()
else:
logger = logging.getLogger(record.name)
if logger.isEnabledFor(record.levelno):
# The process name is transformed just to show that it's the listener
# doing the logging to files and console
record.processName = '%s (for %s)' % (current_process().name, record.processName)
logger.handle(record)
def listener_process(q, stop_event, config):
"""
This could be done in the main process, but is just done in a separate
process for illustrative purposes.

Inserting a BOM into messages sent to a SysLogHandler
-----------------------------------------------------
:rfc:`5424` requires that a
Unicode message be sent to a syslog daemon as a set of bytes which have the
following structure: an optional pure-ASCII component, followed by a UTF-8 Byte
Order Mark (BOM), followed by Unicode encoded using UTF-8. (See the
:rfc:`relevant section of the specification <5424#section-6>`.)
In Python 3.1, code was added to
:class:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler` to insert a BOM into the message, but
unfortunately, it was implemented incorrectly, with the BOM appearing at the
beginning of the message and hence not allowing any pure-ASCII component to
appear before it.
As this behaviour is broken, the incorrect BOM insertion code is being removed
from Python 3.2.4 and later. However, it is not being replaced, and if you
want to produce :rfc:`5424`-compliant messages which include a BOM, an optional
pure-ASCII sequence before it and arbitrary Unicode after it, encoded using
UTF-8, then you need to do the following:
#. Attach a :class:`~logging.Formatter` instance to your
:class:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler` instance, with a format string
such as::
'ASCII section\ufeffUnicode section'
The Unicode code point U+FEFF, when encoded using UTF-8, will be
encoded as a UTF-8 BOM -- the byte-string ``b'\xef\xbb\xbf'``.
#. Replace the ASCII section with whatever placeholders you like, but make sure
that the data that appears in there after substitution is always ASCII (that
way, it will remain unchanged after UTF-8 encoding).
#. Replace the Unicode section with whatever placeholders you like; if the data
which appears there after substitution contains characters outside the ASCII
range, that's fine -- it will be encoded using UTF-8.
The formatted message *will* be encoded using UTF-8 encoding by
``SysLogHandler``. If you follow the above rules, you should be able to produce
:rfc:`5424`-compliant messages. If you don't, logging may not complain, but your
messages will not be RFC 5424-compliant, and your syslog daemon may complain.
Implementing structured logging
-------------------------------
Although most logging messages are intended for reading by humans, and thus not
readily machine-parseable, there might be circumstances where you want to output
messages in a structured format which *is* capable of being parsed by a program
(without needing complex regular expressions to parse the log message). This is
straightforward to achieve using the logging package. There are a number of
ways in which this could be achieved, but the following is a simple approach
which uses JSON to serialise the event in a machine-parseable manner::
import json
import logging
class StructuredMessage:
def __init__(self, message, /, **kwargs):
self.message = message
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __str__(self):
return '%s >>> %s' % (self.message, json.dumps(self.kwargs))
_ = StructuredMessage # optional, to improve readability
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(message)s')
logging.info(_('message 1', foo='bar', bar='baz', num=123, fnum=123.456))
If the above script is run, it prints:
.. code-block:: none
message 1 >>> {"fnum": 123.456, "num": 123, "bar": "baz", "foo": "bar"}
Note that the order of items might be different according to the version of
Python used.
If you need more specialised processing, you can use a custom JSON encoder,
as in the following complete example::
import json
import logging
class Encoder(json.JSONEncoder):
def default(self, o):
if isinstance(o, set):
return tuple(o)
elif isinstance(o, str):
return o.encode('unicode_escape').decode('ascii')
return super().default(o)
class StructuredMessage:
def __init__(self, message, /, **kwargs):
self.message = message
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __str__(self):
s = Encoder().encode(self.kwargs)
return '%s >>> %s' % (self.message, s)
_ = StructuredMessage # optional, to improve readability
def main():
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(message)s')
logging.info(_('message 1', set_value={1, 2, 3}, snowman='\u2603'))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
When the above script is run, it prints:
.. code-block:: none
message 1 >>> {"snowman": "\u2603", "set_value": [1, 2, 3]}
Note that the order of items might be different according to the version of
Python used.
.. _custom-handlers:
.. currentmodule:: logging.config
Customizing handlers with :func:`dictConfig`
--------------------------------------------
There are times when you want to customize logging handlers in particular ways,
and if you use :func:`dictConfig` you may be able to do this without
subclassing. As an example, consider that you may want to set the ownership of a
log file. On POSIX, this is easily done using :func:`shutil.chown`, but the file
handlers in the stdlib don't offer built-in support. You can customize handler
creation using a plain function such as::
def owned_file_handler(filename, mode='a', encoding=None, owner=None):
if owner:
if not os.path.exists(filename):
open(filename, 'a').close()
shutil.chown(filename, *owner)
return logging.FileHandler(filename, mode, encoding)
You can then specify, in a logging configuration passed to :func:`dictConfig`,
that a logging handler be created by calling this function::
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'default': {
'format': '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(name)s %(message)s'
},
},
'handlers': {
'file':{
# The values below are popped from this dictionary and
# used to create the handler, set the handler's level and
# its formatter.
'()': owned_file_handler,
'level':'DEBUG',
'formatter': 'default',
# The values below are passed to the handler creator callable
# as keyword arguments.
'owner': ['pulse', 'pulse'],
'filename': 'chowntest.log',
'mode': 'w',
'encoding': 'utf-8',
},
},
'root': {
'handlers': ['file'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
},
}
In this example I am setting the ownership using the ``pulse`` user and group,
just for the purposes of illustration. Putting it together into a working
script, ``chowntest.py``::
import logging, logging.config, os, shutil
def owned_file_handler(filename, mode='a', encoding=None, owner=None):
if owner:
if not os.path.exists(filename):
open(filename, 'a').close()
shutil.chown(filename, *owner)
return logging.FileHandler(filename, mode, encoding)
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'default': {
'format': '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(name)s %(message)s'
},
},
'handlers': {
'file':{
# The values below are popped from this dictionary and
# used to create the handler, set the handler's level and
# its formatter.
'()': owned_file_handler,
'level':'DEBUG',
'formatter': 'default',
# The values below are passed to the handler creator callable
# as keyword arguments.
'owner': ['pulse', 'pulse'],
'filename': 'chowntest.log',
'mode': 'w',
'encoding': 'utf-8',
},
},
'root': {
'handlers': ['file'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
},
}
logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING)
logger = logging.getLogger('mylogger')
logger.debug('A debug message')
To run this, you will probably need to run as ``root``:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ sudo python3.3 chowntest.py
$ cat chowntest.log
2013-11-05 09:34:51,128 DEBUG mylogger A debug message
$ ls -l chowntest.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 pulse pulse 55 2013-11-05 09:34 chowntest.log
Note that this example uses Python 3.3 because that's where :func:`shutil.chown`
makes an appearance. This approach should work with any Python version that
supports :func:`dictConfig` - namely, Python 2.7, 3.2 or later. With pre-3.3
versions, you would need to implement the actual ownership change using e.g.
:func:`os.chown`.
In practice, the handler-creating function may be in a utility module somewhere
in your project. Instead of the line in the configuration::
'()': owned_file_handler,
you could use e.g.::
'()': 'ext://project.util.owned_file_handler',
where ``project.util`` can be replaced with the actual name of the package
where the function resides. In the above working script, using
``'ext://__main__.owned_file_handler'`` should work. Here, the actual callable
is resolved by :func:`dictConfig` from the ``ext://`` specification.
This example hopefully also points the way to how you could implement other
types of file change - e.g. setting specific POSIX permission bits - in the
same way, using :func:`os.chmod`.
Of course, the approach could also be extended to types of handler other than a
:class:`~logging.FileHandler` - for example, one of the rotating file handlers,
or a different type of handler altogether.
.. currentmodule:: logging
.. _formatting-styles:
Using particular formatting styles throughout your application
--------------------------------------------------------------
In Python 3.2, the :class:`~logging.Formatter` gained a ``style`` keyword
parameter which, while defaulting to ``%`` for backward compatibility, allowed
the specification of ``{`` or ``$`` to support the formatting approaches
supported by :meth:`str.format` and :class:`string.Template`. Note that this
governs the formatting of logging messages for final output to logs, and is
completely orthogonal to how an individual logging message is constructed.
Logging calls (:meth:`~Logger.debug`, :meth:`~Logger.info` etc.) only take
positional parameters for the actual logging message itself, with keyword
parameters used only for determining options for how to handle the logging call
(e.g. the ``exc_info`` keyword parameter to indicate that traceback information
should be logged, or the ``extra`` keyword parameter to indicate additional
contextual information to be added to the log). So you cannot directly make
logging calls using :meth:`str.format` or :class:`string.Template` syntax,
because internally the logging package uses %-formatting to merge the format
string and the variable arguments. There would no changing this while preserving
backward compatibility, since all logging calls which are out there in existing
code will be using %-format strings.
There have been suggestions to associate format styles with specific loggers,
but that approach also runs into backward compatibility problems because any
existing code could be using a given logger name and using %-formatting.
For logging to work interoperably between any third-party libraries and your
code, decisions about formatting need to be made at the level of the
individual logging call. This opens up a couple of ways in which alternative
formatting styles can be accommodated.
Using LogRecord factories
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In Python 3.2, along with the :class:`~logging.Formatter` changes mentioned
above, the logging package gained the ability to allow users to set their own
:class:`LogRecord` subclasses, using the :func:`setLogRecordFactory` function.
You can use this to set your own subclass of :class:`LogRecord`, which does the
Right Thing by overriding the :meth:`~LogRecord.getMessage` method. The base
class implementation of this method is where the ``msg % args`` formatting
happens, and where you can substitute your alternate formatting; however, you
should be careful to support all formatting styles and allow %-formatting as
the default, to ensure interoperability with other code. Care should also be
taken to call ``str(self.msg)``, just as the base implementation does.
Refer to the reference documentation on :func:`setLogRecordFactory` and
:class:`LogRecord` for more information.
Using custom message objects
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is another, perhaps simpler way that you can use {}- and $- formatting to
construct your individual log messages. You may recall (from
:ref:`arbitrary-object-messages`) that when logging you can use an arbitrary
object as a message format string, and that the logging package will call
:func:`str` on that object to get the actual format string. Consider the
following two classes::
class BraceMessage:
def __init__(self, fmt, /, *args, **kwargs):
self.fmt = fmt
self.args = args
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __str__(self):
return self.fmt.format(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
class DollarMessage:
def __init__(self, fmt, /, **kwargs):
self.fmt = fmt
self.kwargs = kwargs
def __str__(self):
from string import Template
return Template(self.fmt).substitute(**self.kwargs)
Either of these can be used in place of a format string, to allow {}- or
$-formatting to be used to build the actual "message" part which appears in the
formatted log output in place of “%(message)s” or “{message}” or “$message”.
If you find it a little unwieldy to use the class names whenever you want to log
something, you can make it more palatable if you use an alias such as ``M`` or
``_`` for the message (or perhaps ``__``, if you are using ``_`` for
localization).
Examples of this approach are given below. Firstly, formatting with
:meth:`str.format`::
>>> __ = BraceMessage
>>> print(__('Message with {0} {1}', 2, 'placeholders'))
Message with 2 placeholders
>>> class Point: pass
...
>>> p = Point()
>>> p.x = 0.5
>>> p.y = 0.5
>>> print(__('Message with coordinates: ({point.x:.2f}, {point.y:.2f})', point=p))
Message with coordinates: (0.50, 0.50)
Secondly, formatting with :class:`string.Template`::
>>> __ = DollarMessage
>>> print(__('Message with $num $what', num=2, what='placeholders'))
Message with 2 placeholders
>>>
One thing to note is that you pay no significant performance penalty with this
approach: the actual formatting happens not when you make the logging call, but
when (and if) the logged message is actually about to be output to a log by a
handler. So the only slightly unusual thing which might trip you up is that the
parentheses go around the format string and the arguments, not just the format
string. That’s because the __ notation is just syntax sugar for a constructor
call to one of the ``XXXMessage`` classes shown above.
.. _filters-dictconfig:
.. currentmodule:: logging.config
Configuring filters with :func:`dictConfig`
-------------------------------------------
You *can* configure filters using :func:`~logging.config.dictConfig`, though it
might not be obvious at first glance how to do it (hence this recipe). Since
:class:`~logging.Filter` is the only filter class included in the standard
library, and it is unlikely to cater to many requirements (it's only there as a
base class), you will typically need to define your own :class:`~logging.Filter`
subclass with an overridden :meth:`~logging.Filter.filter` method. To do this,
specify the ``()`` key in the configuration dictionary for the filter,
specifying a callable which will be used to create the filter (a class is the
most obvious, but you can provide any callable which returns a
:class:`~logging.Filter` instance). Here is a complete example::
import logging
import logging.config
import sys
class MyFilter(logging.Filter):
def __init__(self, param=None):
self.param = param
def filter(self, record):
if self.param is None:
allow = True
else:
allow = self.param not in record.msg
if allow:
record.msg = 'changed: ' + record.msg
return allow
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'filters': {
'myfilter': {
'()': MyFilter,
'param': 'noshow',
}
},
'handlers': {
'console': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'filters': ['myfilter']
}
},
'root': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'handlers': ['console']
},
}
if __name__ == '__main__':
logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING)
logging.debug('hello')
logging.debug('hello - noshow')
This example shows how you can pass configuration data to the callable which
constructs the instance, in the form of keyword parameters. When run, the above
script will print:
.. code-block:: none
changed: hello
which shows that the filter is working as configured.
A couple of extra points to note:
* If you can't refer to the callable directly in the configuration (e.g. if it
lives in a different module, and you can't import it directly where the
configuration dictionary is), you can use the form ``ext://...`` as described
in :ref:`logging-config-dict-externalobj`. For example, you could have used
the text ``'ext://__main__.MyFilter'`` instead of ``MyFilter`` in the above
example.
* As well as for filters, this technique can also be used to configure custom
handlers and formatters. See :ref:`logging-config-dict-userdef` for more
information on how logging supports using user-defined objects in its
configuration, and see the other cookbook recipe :ref:`custom-handlers` above.
.. _custom-format-exception:
Customized exception formatting
-------------------------------
There might be times when you want to do customized exception formatting - for
argument's sake, let's say you want exactly one line per logged event, even
when exception information is present. You can do this with a custom formatter
class, as shown in the following example::
import logging
class OneLineExceptionFormatter(logging.Formatter):
def formatException(self, exc_info):
"""
Format an exception so that it prints on a single line.
"""
result = super().formatException(exc_info)
return repr(result) # or format into one line however you want to
def format(self, record):
s = super().format(record)
if record.exc_text:
s = s.replace('\n', '') + '|'
return s
def configure_logging():
fh = logging.FileHandler('output.txt', 'w')
f = OneLineExceptionFormatter('%(asctime)s|%(levelname)s|%(message)s|',
'%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S')
fh.setFormatter(f)
root = logging.getLogger()
root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
root.addHandler(fh)
def main():
configure_logging()
logging.info('Sample message')
try:
x = 1 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
logging.exception('ZeroDivisionError: %s', e)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
When run, this produces a file with exactly two lines:
.. code-block:: none
28/01/2015 07:21:23|INFO|Sample message|
28/01/2015 07:21:23|ERROR|ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero|'Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "logtest7.py", line 30, in main\n x = 1 / 0\nZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero'|
While the above treatment is simplistic, it points the way to how exception
information can be formatted to your liking. The :mod:`traceback` module may be
helpful for more specialized needs.
.. _spoken-messages:
Speaking logging messages
-------------------------
There might be situations when it is desirable to have logging messages rendered
in an audible rather than a visible format. This is easy to do if you have
text-to-speech (TTS) functionality available in your system, even if it doesn't have
a Python binding. Most TTS systems have a command line program you can run, and
this can be invoked from a handler using :mod:`subprocess`. It's assumed here
that TTS command line programs won't expect to interact with users or take a
long time to complete, and that the frequency of logged messages will be not so
high as to swamp the user with messages, and that it's acceptable to have the
messages spoken one at a time rather than concurrently, The example implementation
below waits for one message to be spoken before the next is processed, and this
might cause other handlers to be kept waiting. Here is a short example showing
the approach, which assumes that the ``espeak`` TTS package is available::
import logging
import subprocess
import sys
class TTSHandler(logging.Handler):
def emit(self, record):
msg = self.format(record)
# Speak slowly in a female English voice
cmd = ['espeak', '-s150', '-ven+f3', msg]
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
# wait for the program to finish
p.communicate()
def configure_logging():
h = TTSHandler()
root = logging.getLogger()
root.addHandler(h)
# the default formatter just returns the message
root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
def main():
logging.info('Hello')
logging.debug('Goodbye')
if __name__ == '__main__':
configure_logging()
sys.exit(main())
When run, this script should say "Hello" and then "Goodbye" in a female voice.
The above approach can, of course, be adapted to other TTS systems and even
other systems altogether which can process messages via external programs run
from a command line.
.. _buffered-logging:
Buffering logging messages and outputting them conditionally
------------------------------------------------------------
There might be situations where you want to log messages in a temporary area
and only output them if a certain condition occurs. For example, you may want to
start logging debug events in a function, and if the function completes without
errors, you don't want to clutter the log with the collected debug information,
but if there is an error, you want all the debug information to be output as well
as the error.
Here is an example which shows how you could do this using a decorator for your
functions where you want logging to behave this way. It makes use of the
:class:`logging.handlers.MemoryHandler`, which allows buffering of logged events
until some condition occurs, at which point the buffered events are ``flushed``
- passed to another handler (the ``target`` handler) for processing. By default,
the ``MemoryHandler`` flushed when its buffer gets filled up or an event whose
level is greater than or equal to a specified threshold is seen. You can use this
recipe with a more specialised subclass of ``MemoryHandler`` if you want custom
flushing behavior.
The example script has a simple function, ``foo``, which just cycles through
all the logging levels, writing to ``sys.stderr`` to say what level it's about
to log at, and then actually logging a message at that level. You can pass a
parameter to ``foo`` which, if true, will log at ERROR and CRITICAL levels -
otherwise, it only logs at DEBUG, INFO and WARNING levels.
The script just arranges to decorate ``foo`` with a decorator which will do the
conditional logging that's required. The decorator takes a logger as a parameter
and attaches a memory handler for the duration of the call to the decorated
function. The decorator can be additionally parameterised using a target handler,
a level at which flushing should occur, and a capacity for the buffer (number of
records buffered). These default to a :class:`~logging.StreamHandler` which
writes to ``sys.stderr``, ``logging.ERROR`` and ``100`` respectively.
Here's the script::
import logging
from logging.handlers import MemoryHandler
import sys
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.addHandler(logging.NullHandler())
def log_if_errors(logger, target_handler=None, flush_level=None, capacity=None):
if target_handler is None:
target_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
if flush_level is None:
flush_level = logging.ERROR
if capacity is None:
capacity = 100
handler = MemoryHandler(capacity, flushLevel=flush_level, target=target_handler)
def decorator(fn):
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
logger.addHandler(handler)
try:
return fn(*args, **kwargs)
except Exception:
logger.exception('call failed')
raise
finally:
super(MemoryHandler, handler).flush()
logger.removeHandler(handler)
return wrapper
return decorator
def write_line(s):
sys.stderr.write('%s\n' % s)
def foo(fail=False):
write_line('about to log at DEBUG ...')
logger.debug('Actually logged at DEBUG')
write_line('about to log at INFO ...')
logger.info('Actually logged at INFO')
write_line('about to log at WARNING ...')
logger.warning('Actually logged at WARNING')
if fail:
write_line('about to log at ERROR ...')
logger.error('Actually logged at ERROR')
write_line('about to log at CRITICAL ...')
logger.critical('Actually logged at CRITICAL')
return fail
decorated_foo = log_if_errors(logger)(foo)
if __name__ == '__main__':
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
write_line('Calling undecorated foo with False')
assert not foo(False)
write_line('Calling undecorated foo with True')
assert foo(True)
write_line('Calling decorated foo with False')
assert not decorated_foo(False)
write_line('Calling decorated foo with True')
assert decorated_foo(True)
When this script is run, the following output should be observed:
.. code-block:: none
Calling undecorated foo with False
about to log at DEBUG ...
about to log at INFO ...
about to log at WARNING ...
Calling undecorated foo with True
about to log at DEBUG ...
about to log at INFO ...
about to log at WARNING ...
about to log at ERROR ...
about to log at CRITICAL ...
Calling decorated foo with False
about to log at DEBUG ...
about to log at INFO ...
about to log at WARNING ...
Calling decorated foo with True
about to log at DEBUG ...
about to log at INFO ...
about to log at WARNING ...
about to log at ERROR ...
Actually logged at DEBUG
Actually logged at INFO
Actually logged at WARNING
Actually logged at ERROR
about to log at CRITICAL ...
Actually logged at CRITICAL
As you can see, actual logging output only occurs when an event is logged whose
severity is ERROR or greater, but in that case, any previous events at lower
severities are also logged.
You can of course use the conventional means of decoration::
@log_if_errors(logger)
def foo(fail=False):
...
.. _buffered-smtp:
Sending logging messages to email, with buffering
-------------------------------------------------
To illustrate how you can send log messages via email, so that a set number of
messages are sent per email, you can subclass
:class:`~logging.handlers.BufferingHandler`. In the following example, which you can
adapt to suit your specific needs, a simple test harness is provided which allows you
to run the script with command line arguments specifying what you typically need to
send things via SMTP. (Run the downloaded script with the ``-h`` argument to see the
required and optional arguments.)

h = BufferingSMTPHandler(options.host, options.port, options.user,
options.password, options.sender,
options.to, options.subject, 10)
logger.addHandler(h)
for i in range(102):
logger.info("Info index = %d", i)
h.flush()
h.close()
If you run this script and your SMTP server is correctly set up, you should find that
it sends eleven emails to the addressee you specify. The first ten emails will each
have ten log messages, and the eleventh will have two messages. That makes up 102
messages as specified in the script.
.. _utc-formatting:
Formatting times using UTC (GMT) via configuration
--------------------------------------------------
Sometimes you want to format times using UTC, which can be done using a class
such as ``UTCFormatter``, shown below::
import logging
import time
class UTCFormatter(logging.Formatter):
converter = time.gmtime
and you can then use the ``UTCFormatter`` in your code instead of
:class:`~logging.Formatter`. If you want to do that via configuration, you can
use the :func:`~logging.config.dictConfig` API with an approach illustrated by
the following complete example::
import logging
import logging.config
import time
class UTCFormatter(logging.Formatter):
converter = time.gmtime
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'utc': {
'()': UTCFormatter,
'format': '%(asctime)s %(message)s',
},
'local': {
'format': '%(asctime)s %(message)s',
}
},
'handlers': {
'console1': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'utc',
},
'console2': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'local',
},
},
'root': {
'handlers': ['console1', 'console2'],
}
}
if __name__ == '__main__':
logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING)
logging.warning('The local time is %s', time.asctime())
When this script is run, it should print something like:
.. code-block:: none
2015-10-17 12:53:29,501 The local time is Sat Oct 17 13:53:29 2015
2015-10-17 13:53:29,501 The local time is Sat Oct 17 13:53:29 2015
showing how the time is formatted both as local time and UTC, one for each
handler.
.. _context-manager:
Using a context manager for selective logging
---------------------------------------------
There are times when it would be useful to temporarily change the logging
configuration and revert it back after doing something. For this, a context
manager is the most obvious way of saving and restoring the logging context.
Here is a simple example of such a context manager, which allows you to
optionally change the logging level and add a logging handler purely in the
scope of the context manager::
import logging
import sys
class LoggingContext:
def __init__(self, logger, level=None, handler=None, close=True):
self.logger = logger
self.level = level
self.handler = handler
self.close = close
def __enter__(self):
if self.level is not None:
self.old_level = self.logger.level
self.logger.setLevel(self.level)
if self.handler:
self.logger.addHandler(self.handler)
def __exit__(self, et, ev, tb):
if self.level is not None:
self.logger.setLevel(self.old_level)
if self.handler:
self.logger.removeHandler(self.handler)
if self.handler and self.close:
self.handler.close()
# implicit return of None => don't swallow exceptions
If you specify a level value, the logger's level is set to that value in the
scope of the with block covered by the context manager. If you specify a
handler, it is added to the logger on entry to the block and removed on exit
from the block. You can also ask the manager to close the handler for you on
block exit - you could do this if you don't need the handler any more.
To illustrate how it works, we can add the following block of code to the
above::
if __name__ == '__main__':
logger = logging.getLogger('foo')
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.info('1. This should appear just once on stderr.')
logger.debug('2. This should not appear.')
with LoggingContext(logger, level=logging.DEBUG):
logger.debug('3. This should appear once on stderr.')
logger.debug('4. This should not appear.')
h = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
with LoggingContext(logger, level=logging.DEBUG, handler=h, close=True):
logger.debug('5. This should appear twice - once on stderr and once on stdout.')
logger.info('6. This should appear just once on stderr.')
logger.debug('7. This should not appear.')
We initially set the logger's level to ``INFO``, so message #1 appears and
message #2 doesn't. We then change the level to ``DEBUG`` temporarily in the
following ``with`` block, and so message #3 appears. After the block exits, the
logger's level is restored to ``INFO`` and so message #4 doesn't appear. In the
next ``with`` block, we set the level to ``DEBUG`` again but also add a handler
writing to ``sys.stdout``. Thus, message #5 appears twice on the console (once
via ``stderr`` and once via ``stdout``). After the ``with`` statement's
completion, the status is as it was before so message #6 appears (like message
#1) whereas message #7 doesn't (just like message #2).
If we run the resulting script, the result is as follows:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python logctx.py
1. This should appear just once on stderr.
3. This should appear once on stderr.
5. This should appear twice - once on stderr and once on stdout.
5. This should appear twice - once on stderr and once on stdout.
6. This should appear just once on stderr.
If we run it again, but pipe ``stderr`` to ``/dev/null``, we see the following,
which is the only message written to ``stdout``:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python logctx.py 2>/dev/null
5. This should appear twice - once on stderr and once on stdout.
Once again, but piping ``stdout`` to ``/dev/null``, we get:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python logctx.py >/dev/null
1. This should appear just once on stderr.
3. This should appear once on stderr.
5. This should appear twice - once on stderr and once on stdout.
6. This should appear just once on stderr.
In this case, the message #5 printed to ``stdout`` doesn't appear, as expected.
Of course, the approach described here can be generalised, for example to attach
logging filters temporarily. Note that the above code works in Python 2 as well
as Python 3.
.. _starter-template:
A CLI application starter template
----------------------------------
Here's an example which shows how you can:
* Use a logging level based on command-line arguments
* Dispatch to multiple subcommands in separate files, all logging at the same
level in a consistent way
* Make use of simple, minimal configuration
Suppose we have a command-line application whose job is to stop, start or
restart some services. This could be organised for the purposes of illustration
as a file ``app.py`` that is the main script for the application, with individual
commands implemented in ``start.py``, ``stop.py`` and ``restart.py``. Suppose
further that we want to control the verbosity of the application via a
command-line argument, defaulting to ``logging.INFO``. Here's one way that
``app.py`` could be written::
import argparse
import importlib
import logging
import os
import sys
def main(args=None):
scriptname = os.path.basename(__file__)
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(scriptname)
levels = ('DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARNING', 'ERROR', 'CRITICAL')
parser.add_argument('--log-level', default='INFO', choices=levels)
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(dest='command',
help='Available commands:')
start_cmd = subparsers.add_parser('start', help='Start a service')
start_cmd.add_argument('name', metavar='NAME',
help='Name of service to start')
stop_cmd = subparsers.add_parser('stop',
help='Stop one or more services')
stop_cmd.add_argument('names', metavar='NAME', nargs='+',
help='Name of service to stop')
restart_cmd = subparsers.add_parser('restart',
help='Restart one or more services')
restart_cmd.add_argument('names', metavar='NAME', nargs='+',
help='Name of service to restart')
options = parser.parse_args()
# the code to dispatch commands could all be in this file. For the purposes
# of illustration only, we implement each command in a separate module.
try:
mod = importlib.import_module(options.command)
cmd = getattr(mod, 'command')
except (ImportError, AttributeError):
print('Unable to find the code for command \'%s\'' % options.command)
return 1
# Could get fancy here and load configuration from file or dictionary
logging.basicConfig(level=options.log_level,
format='%(levelname)s %(name)s %(message)s')
cmd(options)
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(main())
And the ``start``, ``stop`` and ``restart`` commands can be implemented in
separate modules, like so for starting::
# start.py
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def command(options):
logger.debug('About to start %s', options.name)
# actually do the command processing here ...
logger.info('Started the \'%s\' service.', options.name)
and thus for stopping::
# stop.py
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def command(options):
n = len(options.names)
if n == 1:
plural = ''
services = '\'%s\'' % options.names[0]
else:
plural = 's'
services = ', '.join('\'%s\'' % name for name in options.names)
i = services.rfind(', ')
services = services[:i] + ' and ' + services[i + 2:]
logger.debug('About to stop %s', services)
# actually do the command processing here ...
logger.info('Stopped the %s service%s.', services, plural)
and similarly for restarting::
# restart.py
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def command(options):
n = len(options.names)
if n == 1:
plural = ''
services = '\'%s\'' % options.names[0]
else:
plural = 's'
services = ', '.join('\'%s\'' % name for name in options.names)
i = services.rfind(', ')
services = services[:i] + ' and ' + services[i + 2:]
logger.debug('About to restart %s', services)
# actually do the command processing here ...
logger.info('Restarted the %s service%s.', services, plural)
If we run this application with the default log level, we get output like this:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python app.py start foo
INFO start Started the 'foo' service.
$ python app.py stop foo bar
INFO stop Stopped the 'foo' and 'bar' services.
$ python app.py restart foo bar baz
INFO restart Restarted the 'foo', 'bar' and 'baz' services.
The first word is the logging level, and the second word is the module or
package name of the place where the event was logged.
If we change the logging level, then we can change the information sent to the
log. For example, if we want more information:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python app.py --log-level DEBUG start foo
DEBUG start About to start foo
INFO start Started the 'foo' service.
$ python app.py --log-level DEBUG stop foo bar
DEBUG stop About to stop 'foo' and 'bar'
INFO stop Stopped the 'foo' and 'bar' services.
$ python app.py --log-level DEBUG restart foo bar baz
DEBUG restart About to restart 'foo', 'bar' and 'baz'
INFO restart Restarted the 'foo', 'bar' and 'baz' services.
And if we want less:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python app.py --log-level WARNING start foo
$ python app.py --log-level WARNING stop foo bar
$ python app.py --log-level WARNING restart foo bar baz
In this case, the commands don't print anything to the console, since nothing
at ``WARNING`` level or above is logged by them.
.. _qt-gui:
A Qt GUI for logging
--------------------
A question that comes up from time to time is about how to log to a GUI
application. The `Qt <https://www.qt.io/>`_ framework is a popular
cross-platform UI framework with Python bindings using `PySide2
<https://pypi.org/project/PySide2/>`_ or `PyQt5
<https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/>`_ libraries.
The following example shows how to log to a Qt GUI. This introduces a simple
``QtHandler`` class which takes a callable, which should be a slot in the main
thread that does GUI updates. A worker thread is also created to show how you
can log to the GUI from both the UI itself (via a button for manual logging)
as well as a worker thread doing work in the background (here, just logging
messages at random levels with random short delays in between).
The worker thread is implemented using Qt's ``QThread`` class rather than the
:mod:`threading` module, as there are circumstances where one has to use
``QThread``, which offers better integration with other ``Qt`` components.
The code should work with recent releases of either ``PySide2`` or ``PyQt5``.
You should be able to adapt the approach to earlier versions of Qt. Please
refer to the comments in the code snippet for more detailed information.
.. code-block:: python3
import datetime
import logging
import random
import sys
import time
# Deal with minor differences between PySide2 and PyQt5
try:
from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
Signal = QtCore.Signal
Slot = QtCore.Slot
except ImportError:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
Signal = QtCore.pyqtSignal
Slot = QtCore.pyqtSlot
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
#
# Signals need to be contained in a QObject or subclass in order to be correctly
# initialized.
#
class Signaller(QtCore.QObject):
signal = Signal(str, logging.LogRecord)
#
# Output to a Qt GUI is only supposed to happen on the main thread. So, this
# handler is designed to take a slot function which is set up to run in the main
# thread. In this example, the function takes a string argument which is a
# formatted log message, and the log record which generated it. The formatted
# string is just a convenience - you could format a string for output any way
# you like in the slot function itself.
#
# You specify the slot function to do whatever GUI updates you want. The handler
# doesn't know or care about specific UI elements.
#
class QtHandler(logging.Handler):
def __init__(self, slotfunc, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.signaller = Signaller()
self.signaller.signal.connect(slotfunc)
def emit(self, record):
s = self.format(record)
self.signaller.signal.emit(s, record)
#
# This example uses QThreads, which means that the threads at the Python level
# are named something like "Dummy-1". The function below gets the Qt name of the
# current thread.
#
def ctname():
return QtCore.QThread.currentThread().objectName()
#
# Used to generate random levels for logging.
#
LEVELS = (logging.DEBUG, logging.INFO, logging.WARNING, logging.ERROR,
logging.CRITICAL)
#
# This worker class represents work that is done in a thread separate to the
# main thread. The way the thread is kicked off to do work is via a button press
# that connects to a slot in the worker.
#
# Because the default threadName value in the LogRecord isn't much use, we add
# a qThreadName which contains the QThread name as computed above, and pass that
# value in an "extra" dictionary which is used to update the LogRecord with the
# QThread name.
#
# This example worker just outputs messages sequentially, interspersed with
# random delays of the order of a few seconds.
#
class Worker(QtCore.QObject):
@Slot()
def start(self):
extra = {'qThreadName': ctname() }
logger.debug('Started work', extra=extra)
i = 1
# Let the thread run until interrupted. This allows reasonably clean

i += 1
#
# Implement a simple UI for this cookbook example. This contains:

Logging to syslog with RFC5424 support
--------------------------------------
Although :rfc:`5424` dates from 2009, most syslog servers are configured by detault to
use the older :rfc:`3164`, which hails from 2001. When ``logging`` was added to Python
in 2003, it supported the earlier (and only existing) protocol at the time. Since
RFC5424 came out, as there has not been widespread deployment of it in syslog
servers, the :class:`~logging.handlers.SysLogHandler` functionality has not been
updated.
RFC 5424 contains some useful features such as support for structured data, and if you
need to be able to log to a syslog server with support for it, you can do so with a
subclassed handler which looks something like this::
import datetime
import logging.handlers
import re
import socket
import time
class SysLogHandler5424(logging.handlers.SysLogHandler):
tz_offset = re.compile(r'([+-]\d{2})(\d{2})$')
escaped = re.compile(r'([\]"\\])')
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.msgid = kwargs.pop('msgid', None)
self.appname = kwargs.pop('appname', None)
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def format(self, record):
version = 1
asctime = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(record.created).isoformat()
m = self.tz_offset.match(time.strftime('%z'))
has_offset = False
if m and time.timezone:
hrs, mins = m.groups()
if int(hrs) or int(mins):
has_offset = True
if not has_offset:
asctime += 'Z'
else:
asctime += f'{hrs}:{mins}'
try:
hostname = socket.gethostname()
except Exception:
hostname = '-'
appname = self.appname or '-'
procid = record.process
msgid = '-'
msg = super().format(record)
sdata = '-'
if hasattr(record, 'structured_data'):
sd = record.structured_data
# This should be a dict where the keys are SD-ID and the value is a
# dict mapping PARAM-NAME to PARAM-VALUE (refer to the RFC for what these
# mean)
# There's no error checking here - it's purely for illustration, and you
# can adapt this code for use in production environments
parts = []
def replacer(m):
g = m.groups()
return '\\' + g[0]
for sdid, dv in sd.items():
part = f'[{sdid}'
for k, v in dv.items():
s = str(v)
s = self.escaped.sub(replacer, s)
part += f' {k}="{s}"'
part += ']'
parts.append(part)
sdata = ''.join(parts)
return f'{version} {asctime} {hostname} {appname} {procid} {msgid} {sdata} {msg}'
You'll need to be familiar with RFC 5424 to fully understand the above code, and it
may be that you have slightly different needs (e.g. for how you pass structural data
to the log). Nevertheless, the above should be adaptable to your speciric needs. With
the above handler, you'd pass structured data using something like this::
sd = {
'foo@12345': {'bar': 'baz', 'baz': 'bozz', 'fizz': r'buzz'},
'foo@54321': {'rab': 'baz', 'zab': 'bozz', 'zzif': r'buzz'}
}
extra = {'structured_data': sd}
i = 1
logger.debug('Message %d', i, extra=extra)
How to treat a logger like an output stream
-------------------------------------------
Sometimes, you need to interface to a third-party API which expects a file-like
object to write to, but you want to direct the API's output to a logger. You
can do this using a class which wraps a logger with a file-like API.
Here's a short script illustrating such a class:
.. code-block:: python
import logging
class LoggerWriter:
def __init__(self, logger, level):
self.logger = logger
self.level = level
def write(self, message):
if message != '\n': # avoid printing bare newlines, if you like
self.logger.log(self.level, message)
def flush(self):
# doesn't actually do anything, but might be expected of a file-like
# object - so optional depending on your situation
pass
def close(self):
# doesn't actually do anything, but might be expected of a file-like
# object - so optional depending on your situation. You might want
# to set a flag so that later calls to write raise an exception
pass
def main():
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logger = logging.getLogger('demo')
info_fp = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.INFO)
debug_fp = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.DEBUG)
print('An INFO message', file=info_fp)
print('A DEBUG message', file=debug_fp)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
When this script is run, it prints
.. code-block:: text
INFO:demo:An INFO message
DEBUG:demo:A DEBUG message
You could also use ``LoggerWriter`` to redirect ``sys.stdout`` and
``sys.stderr`` by doing something like this:
.. code-block:: python
import sys
sys.stdout = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.INFO)
sys.stderr = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.WARNING)
You should do this *after* configuring logging for your needs. In the above
example, the :func:`~logging.basicConfig` call does this (using the
``sys.stderr`` value *before* it is overwritten by a ``LoggerWriter``
instance). Then, you'd get this kind of result:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> print('Foo')
INFO:demo:Foo
>>> print('Bar', file=sys.stderr)
WARNING:demo:Bar
>>>
Of course, the examples above show output according to the format used by
:func:`~logging.basicConfig`, but you can use a different formatter when you
configure logging.
Note that with the above scheme, you are somewhat at the mercy of buffering and
the sequence of write calls which you are intercepting. For example, with the
definition of ``LoggerWriter`` above, if you have the snippet
.. code-block:: python
sys.stderr = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.WARNING)
1 / 0
then running the script results in
.. code-block:: text
WARNING:demo:Traceback (most recent call last):
WARNING:demo: File "/home/runner/cookbook-loggerwriter/test.py", line 53, in <module>
WARNING:demo:
WARNING:demo:main()
WARNING:demo: File "/home/runner/cookbook-loggerwriter/test.py", line 49, in main
WARNING:demo:
WARNING:demo:1 / 0
WARNING:demo:ZeroDivisionError
WARNING:demo::
WARNING:demo:division by zero
As you can see, this output isn't ideal. That's because the underlying code
which writes to ``sys.stderr`` makes mutiple writes, each of which results in a
separate logged line (for example, the last three lines above). To get around
this problem, you need to buffer things and only output log lines when newlines
are seen. Let's use a slghtly better implementation of ``LoggerWriter``:
.. code-block:: python
class BufferingLoggerWriter(LoggerWriter):
def __init__(self, logger, level):
super().__init__(logger, level)
self.buffer = ''
def write(self, message):
if '\n' not in message:
self.buffer += message
else:
parts = message.split('\n')
if self.buffer:
s = self.buffer + parts.pop(0)
self.logger.log(self.level, s)
self.buffer = parts.pop()
for part in parts:
self.logger.log(self.level, part)
This just buffers up stuff until a newline is seen, and then logs complete
lines. With this approach, you get better output:
.. code-block:: text
WARNING:demo:Traceback (most recent call last):
WARNING:demo: File "/home/runner/cookbook-loggerwriter/main.py", line 55, in <module>
WARNING:demo: main()
WARNING:demo: File "/home/runner/cookbook-loggerwriter/main.py", line 52, in main
WARNING:demo: 1/0
WARNING:demo:ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
.. patterns-to-avoid:
Patterns to avoid
-----------------
Although the preceding sections have described ways of doing things you might
need to do or deal with, it is worth mentioning some usage patterns which are
*unhelpful*, and which should therefore be avoided in most cases. The following
sections are in no particular order.
Opening the same log file multiple times
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On Windows, you will generally not be able to open the same file multiple times
as this will lead to a "file is in use by another process" error. However, on
POSIX platforms you'll not get any errors if you open the same file multiple
times. This could be done accidentally, for example by:
* Adding a file handler more than once which references the same file (e.g. by
a copy/paste/forget-to-change error).
* Opening two files that look different, as they have different names, but are
the same because one is a symbolic link to the other.
* Forking a process, following which both parent and child have a reference to
the same file. This might be through use of the :mod:`multiprocessing` module,
for example.
Opening a file multiple times might *appear* to work most of the time, but can
lead to a number of problems in practice:
* Logging output can be garbled because multiple threads or processes try to
write to the same file. Although logging guards against concurrent use of the
same handler instance by multiple threads, there is no such protection if
concurrent writes are attempted by two different threads using two different
handler instances which happen to point to the same file.
* An attempt to delete a file (e.g. during file rotation) silently fails,
because there is another reference pointing to it. This can lead to confusion
and wasted debugging time - log entries end up in unexpected places, or are
lost altogether. Or a file that was supposed to be moved remains in place,
and grows in size unexpectedly despite size-based rotation being supposedly
in place.
Use the techniques outlined in :ref:`multiple-processes` to circumvent such
issues.
Using loggers as attributes in a class or passing them as parameters
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While there might be unusual cases where you'll need to do this, in general
there is no point because loggers are singletons. Code can always access a
given logger instance by name using ``logging.getLogger(name)``, so passing
instances around and holding them as instance attributes is pointless. Note
that in other languages such as Java and C#, loggers are often static class
attributes. However, this pattern doesn't make sense in Python, where the
module (and not the class) is the unit of software decomposition.
Adding handlers other than :class:`NullHandler` to a logger in a library
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Configuring logging by adding handlers, formatters and filters is the
responsibility of the application developer, not the library developer. If you
are maintaining a library, ensure that you don't add handlers to any of your
loggers other than a :class:`~logging.NullHandler` instance.
Creating a lot of loggers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Loggers are singletons that are never freed during a script execution, and so
creating lots of loggers will use up memory which can't then be freed. Rather
than create a logger per e.g. file processed or network connection made, use
the :ref:`existing mechanisms <context-info>` for passing contextual
information into your logs and restrict the loggers created to those describing
areas within your application (generally modules, but occasionally slightly
more fine-grained than that).
