Python日志记录覆盖dictConfig级别

Question

I am using the following dictConfig for a logger. However, I am unable to modify the logging level at runtime.

#contents of log_config.json

{
    "version": 1,
    "disable_existing_loggers": false,
    "formatters": {
        "simple": {
            "format": "%(asctime)s - %(name)-12s - %(levelname)-8s - %(message)s",
            "datefmt": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
        },
        "detailed": {
            "format": "%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(module)-17s line:%(lineno)-4d %(levelname)-8s %(message)s",
            "datefmt": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
        }
    },

    "handlers": {
        "console": {
            "class": "logging.StreamHandler",
            "level": "INFO",
            "formatter": "simple",
            "stream": "ext://sys.stdout"
        },

        "info_file_handler": {
            "class": "logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler",
            "level": "INFO",
            "formatter": "detailed",
            "filename": "info.log",
            "when": "midnight",
            "backupCount": 7,
            "encoding": "utf8"
        },

        "error_file_handler": {
            "class": "logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler",
            "level": "ERROR",
            "formatter": "detailed",
            "filename": "errors.log",
            "when": "midnight",
            "backupCount": 7,
            "encoding": "utf8"
        }
    },

    "loggers": {
        "": {
            "level": "ERROR",
            "handlers": ["console"],
            "propagate": "no"
        }
    },

    "root": {
        "level": "NOTSET",
        "handlers": ["console", "info_file_handler", "error_file_handler"]
    }
}

I then get the logger and set the level using:

with open('/path/to/log_config.json', 'r') as fd:
    cfg = json.load(fd)

logging.config.dictConfig(cfg)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(10)

But, because the logger was created using the dictConfig I am not able to override the levels. I would like to build a UI tool which has an option menu to adjust the logging levels at runtime without having to crack open code or the json file to make adjustments. I am able to adjust the level higher, but for some reason it will not let the level go lower...

What I would like to do is set the info_file and console handlers to INFO (20) in the config, and then have the option to change them to DEBUG (10) at runtime. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, and just figured it out.

In my case I only wanted to change the level for the "console" handler, but you can easily extend this to all handlers and try it out:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
for handler in logger.handlers:
    if handler.get_name() == 'console':
        handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

(note, I copied your __name__ , but for me I'm using an actual string to name the logger - just in case that matters)

Answer 2

I was looking for a dict config and I found your question. I followed your exact code and I also couldn't change the log level then I found this answer . And instead of __name__ using @Tjorriemorrie 's third solution returned correct logger.handlers . And I combined with @Starman ' s answer ... Now I can change the logging level wherever I want and whenever I want.

logger = logging.getLogger()
for handler in logger.handlers:
    if handler.get_name() == 'console':
        handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

PS: Thank you for your code snippet! It helped me a lot.
