Logging
=======
Logging is fun. We all want to be lumberjacks. My muscle-memory wants to put
``print`` statements everywhere, but it's better to use ``log.debug`` instead.
``print`` statements make mod_wsgi sad, and they're not much use in production.
Plus, ``django-debug-toolbar`` can hijack the logger and show all the log
statements generated during the last request. When ``DEBUG = True``, all logs
will be printed to the development console where you started the server. In
production, we're piping everything into ``syslog``.
Configuration
-------------
The root logger is set up from ``log_settings.py`` in the base of zamboni's
tree. It sets up sensible defaults, but you can twiddle with these settings:
``LOG_LEVEL``
This setting is required, and defaults to ``loggging.DEBUG``, which will let
just about anything pass through. To reconfigure, import logging in your
settings file and pick a different level::
import logging
LOG_LEVEL = logging.WARN
``HAS_SYSLOG``
Set this to ``False`` if you don't want logging sent to syslog when
``DEBUG`` is ``False``.
``LOGGING``
See PEP 391 and log_settings.py for formatting help. Each section of LOGGING
will get merged into the corresponding section of log_settings.py.
Handlers and log levels are set up automatically based on LOG_LEVEL and DEBUG
unless you set them here. Messages will not propagate through a logger unless
propagate: True is set.
::
LOGGING = {
'loggers': {
'caching': {'handlers': ['null']},
},
}
If you want to add more to this in ``settings_local.py``, do something like
this::
LOGGING['loggers'].update({
'z.paypal': {
'level': logging.DEBUG,
},
'z.sphinx': {
'handlers': ['null'],
},
})
Using Loggers
-------------
The ``logging`` package uses global objects to make the same logging
configuration available to all code loaded in the interpreter. Loggers are
created in a pseudo-namespace structure, so app-level loggers can inherit
settings from a root logger. zamboni's root namespace is just ``"z"``, in the
interest of brevity. In the caching package, we create a logger that inherits
the configuration by naming it ``"z.caching"``::
import commonware.log
log = commonware.log.getLogger('z.caching')
log.debug("I'm in the caching package.")
Logs can be nested as much as you want. Maintaining log namespaces is useful
because we can turn up the logging output for a particular section of zamboni
without becoming overwhelmed with logging from all other parts.
commonware.log vs. logging
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``commonware.log.getLogger`` should be used inside the request cycle. It
returns a ``LoggingAdapter`` that inserts the current user's IP address into
the log message.
