I am trying to setup a format for logging in python:
import logging,logging.handlers
FORMAT = "%(asctime)-15s %(message)s"
logging.basicConfig(format=FORMAT,level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger("twitter")
handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler('/var/log/twitter_search/message.log', maxBytes=1024000, backupCount=5)
logger.addHandler(handler)
Basically, logging works, but without the date format...
You can add the datefmt parameter to basicConfig:
logging.basicConfig(format=FORMAT,level=logging.INFO,datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
Or, to set the format for the Rotating FileHandler:
fmt = logging.Formatter(FORMAT,datefmt='%Y-%m-%d')
handler.setFormatter(fmt)
datefmt is passed on to time.strftime() internally: see the relevant documentation for all valid format strings.Basic example:
import logging
logging.basicConfig(
format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',
level=logging.INFO,
datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
)
logging.info('Just a random string...')
# 2030-01-01 00:00:00 INFO Just a random string...
If you want to adjust the line spacing between levelname and message change the %(levelname)s like the example:
... %(levelname)-10s ...
# 2030-01-01 00:00:00 INFO Just a random string...
