Industrial IoT SDK for Python Logging

Introduction

Logging of the Industrial IoT SDK for Python is implemented using the logging module by Python, which can be configured to different log levels and a custom logging format.

Usage

The default log level is INFO. Configure the logging using the log_config module in mindsphere_core. It contains a method called setup_logging which allows users to configure log levels and log formats.

Setting the Log Level

# Import log_config from mindsphere_core
import log_config from mindsphere_core

# Setting Log Level to DEBUG
logger = log_config.setup_logging(level=logging.DEBUG)

The following log level are supported:

  • CRITICAL
  • ERROR
  • WARNING
  • INFO
  • DEBUG
  • NOTSET

Setting Log Format

Configure the log format to log only the message or the message with time:

# Import log_config from mindsphere_core
import log_config from mindsphere_core

# Display Logs in the format : Log Message 
logger = log_config.setup_logging(format="%(message)s")

# Display Logs in the format : Time - Classname - Log Level - Log Message 
logger = log_config.setup_logging(format="%(asctime)s - %(name)20s - %(levelname)6s - %(message)s")

# Display Logs in the format : name: <Classname>, level - <Log Level>, time: <time>, message: <Log Message> 
logger = log_config.setup_logging(format="name: %(name)s, level: %(levelname)s, time: %(asctime)s, message: %(message)s")

Disable Logging

Set the log level to NOTSET to disable logging:

# Import log_config from mindsphere_core
import log_config from mindsphere_core

# To disable logging, set the Log Level to NOTSET
logger = log_config.setup_logging(level=logging.NOTSET)
