| objects used in logging configuration - for example, as described in

| <a class="reference internal" href="#logging-config-dict-userdef"><span class="std std-ref">User-defined objects</span></a>. However, these same mechanisms (importing

| configuration) could be used to invoke any code you like, and for this reason you

 | ||
| <p>Describing a logging configuration requires listing the various

 | ||
| may create a handler named ‘console’ and then say that the logger
 | ||
| named ‘startup’ will send its messages to the ‘console’ handler.
 | ||
| These objects aren’t limited to those provided by the <a class="reference internal" href="logging.html#module-logging" title="logging: Flexible event logging system for applications."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging</span></code></a>
 | ||
| module because you might write your own formatter or handler class.
 | ||
| The parameters to these classes may also need to include external
 | ||
| objects such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stderr</span></code>.  The syntax for describing these
 | ||
| objects and connections is defined in <a class="reference internal" href="#logging-config-dict-connections"><span class="std std-ref">Object connections</span></a>

| <li><p><em>version</em> - to be set to an integer value representing the schema

| version.  The only valid value at present is 1, but having this key

 | ||
| </ul>
 | ||
| <p>All other keys are optional, but if present they will be interpreted
 | ||
| as described below.  In all cases below where a ‘configuring dict’ is
 | ||
| mentioned, it will be checked for the special <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'()'</span></code> key to see if a
 | ||
| custom instantiation is required.  If so, the mechanism described in
 | ||
| <a class="reference internal" href="#logging-config-dict-userdef"><span class="std std-ref">User-defined objects</span></a> below is used to create an instance;

| <span id="logging-config-dict-incremental"></span><h3>Incremental Configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#incremental-configuration" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
 | ||
| <p>It is difficult to provide complete flexibility for incremental
 | ||
| configuration.  For example, because objects such as filters
 | ||
| and formatters are anonymous, once a configuration is set up, it is
 | ||
| not possible to refer to such anonymous objects when augmenting a
 | ||
| configuration.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Furthermore, there is not a compelling case for arbitrarily altering
 | ||
| the object graph of loggers, handlers, filters, formatters at
 | ||
| run-time, once a configuration is set up; the verbosity of loggers and
 | ||
| handlers can be controlled just by setting levels (and, in the case of
 | ||
| loggers, propagation flags).  Changing the object graph arbitrarily in
 | ||
| a safe way is problematic in a multi-threaded environment; while not
 | ||
| impossible, the benefits are not worth the complexity it adds to the
 | ||
| implementation.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Thus, when the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">incremental</span></code> key of a configuration dict is present
 | ||
| and is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>, the system will completely ignore any <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">formatters</span></code> and
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">filters</span></code> entries, and process only the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">level</span></code>
 | ||
| settings in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">handlers</span></code> entries, and the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">level</span></code> and
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">propagate</span></code> settings in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loggers</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root</span></code> entries.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Using a value in the configuration dict lets configurations to be sent
 | ||
| over the wire as pickled dicts to a socket listener. Thus, the logging
 | ||
| verbosity of a long-running application can be altered over time with
 | ||
| no need to stop and restart the application.</p>

| <span id="logging-config-dict-connections"></span><h3>Object connections<a class="headerlink" href="#object-connections" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
 | ||
| <p>The schema describes a set of logging objects - loggers,
 | ||
| handlers, formatters, filters - which are connected to each other in
 | ||
| an object graph.  Thus, the schema needs to represent connections
 | ||
| between the objects.  For example, say that, once configured, a
 | ||
| particular logger has attached to it a particular handler.  For the
 | ||
| purposes of this discussion, we can say that the logger represents the
 | ||
| source, and the handler the destination, of a connection between the
 | ||
| two.  Of course in the configured objects this is represented by the
 | ||
| logger holding a reference to the handler.  In the configuration dict,
 | ||
| this is done by giving each destination object an id which identifies
 | ||
| it unambiguously, and then using the id in the source object’s
 | ||
| configuration to indicate that a connection exists between the source
 | ||
| and the destination object with that id.</p>
 | ||
| <p>So, for example, consider the following YAML snippet:</p>
 | ||
| <div class="highlight-yaml notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nt">formatters</span><span class="p">:</span>

 | ||
| </div>
 | ||
| <p>(Note: YAML used here because it’s a little more readable than the
 | ||
| equivalent Python source form for the dictionary.)</p>
 | ||
| <p>The ids for loggers are the logger names which would be used
 | ||
| programmatically to obtain a reference to those loggers, e.g.
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo.bar.baz</span></code>.  The ids for Formatters and Filters can be any string
 | ||
| value (such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">brief</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">precise</span></code> above) and they are transient,
 | ||
| in that they are only meaningful for processing the configuration
 | ||
| dictionary and used to determine connections between objects, and are
 | ||
| not persisted anywhere when the configuration call is complete.</p>
 | ||
| <p>The above snippet indicates that logger named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo.bar.baz</span></code> should
 | ||
| have two handlers attached to it, which are described by the handler
 | ||
| ids <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">h1</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">h2</span></code>. The formatter for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">h1</span></code> is that described by id
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">brief</span></code>, and the formatter for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">h2</span></code> is that described by id
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">precise</span></code>.</p>

| <span id="logging-config-dict-userdef"></span><h3>User-defined objects<a class="headerlink" href="#user-defined-objects" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
 | ||
| <p>The schema supports user-defined objects for handlers, filters and

| formatters.  (Loggers do not need to have different types for
 | ||
| different instances, so there is no support in this configuration
 | ||
| schema for user-defined logger classes.)</p>
 | ||
| <p>Objects to be configured are described by dictionaries
 | ||
| which detail their configuration.  In some places, the logging system
 | ||
| will be able to infer from the context how an object is to be
 | ||
| instantiated, but when a user-defined object is to be instantiated,
 | ||
| the system will not know how to do this.  In order to provide complete
 | ||
| flexibility for user-defined object instantiation, the user needs
 | ||
| to provide a ‘factory’ - a callable which is called with a

| configuration dictionary and which returns the instantiated object.

| <p>The above YAML snippet defines three formatters.  The first, with id

| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">brief</span></code>, is a standard <a class="reference internal" href="logging.html#logging.Formatter" title="logging.Formatter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.Formatter</span></code></a> instance with the

| specified format string.  The second, with id <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">default</span></code>, has a

| strings.  Shown in Python source form, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">brief</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">default</span></code>
 | ||

 | ||

 | ||
| </div>
 | ||
| <p>and this contains the special key <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'()'</span></code>, which means that

 | ||
| <p>Handlers are configured in alphabetical order of their keys, and a configured
 | ||
| handler replaces the configuration dictionary in (a working copy of) the
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">handlers</span></code> dictionary in the schema. If you use a construct such as
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cfg://handlers.foo</span></code>, then initially <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">handlers['foo']</span></code> points to the
 | ||
| configuration dictionary for the handler named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>, and later (once that
 | ||
| handler has been configured) it points to the configured handler instance.
 | ||
| Thus, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cfg://handlers.foo</span></code> could resolve to either a dictionary or a handler
 | ||
| instance. In general, it is wise to name handlers in a way such that dependent
 | ||
| handlers are configured _after_ any handlers they depend on; that allows
 | ||
| something like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cfg://handlers.foo</span></code> to be used in configuring a handler that

| depends on handler <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>. If that dependent handler were named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bar</span></code>,
 | ||
| problems would result, because the configuration of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bar</span></code> would be attempted
 | ||
| before that of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code> would not yet have been configured.
 | ||

 | ||
| <p>There are times where a configuration needs to refer to objects
 | ||
| external to the configuration, for example <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stderr</span></code>.  If the
 | ||
| configuration dict is constructed using Python code, this is
 | ||
| straightforward, but a problem arises when the configuration is
 | ||
| provided via a text file (e.g. JSON, YAML).  In a text file, there is
 | ||
| no standard way to distinguish <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stderr</span></code> from the literal string
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'sys.stderr'</span></code>.  To facilitate this distinction, the configuration
 | ||
| system looks for certain special prefixes in string values and
 | ||
| treat them specially.  For example, if the literal string
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'ext://sys.stderr'</span></code> is provided as a value in the configuration,
 | ||
| then the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ext://</span></code> will be stripped off and the remainder of the
 | ||
| value processed using normal import mechanisms.</p>
 | ||
| <p>The handling of such prefixes is done in a way analogous to protocol
 | ||
| handling: there is a generic mechanism to look for prefixes which
 | ||
| match the regular expression <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">^(?P<prefix>[a-z]+)://(?P<suffix>.*)$</span></code>
 | ||
| whereby, if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">prefix</span></code> is recognised, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">suffix</span></code> is processed
 | ||
| in a prefix-dependent manner and the result of the processing replaces
 | ||
| the string value.  If the prefix is not recognised, then the string
 | ||
| value will be left as-is.</p>

| <span id="logging-config-dict-internalobj"></span><h3>Access to internal objects<a class="headerlink" href="#access-to-internal-objects" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
 | ||
| <p>As well as external objects, there is sometimes also a need to refer
 | ||
| to objects in the configuration.  This will be done implicitly by the
 | ||
| configuration system for things that it knows about.  For example, the
 | ||
| string value <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'DEBUG'</span></code> for a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">level</span></code> in a logger or handler will
 | ||
| automatically be converted to the value <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.DEBUG</span></code>, and the
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">handlers</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">filters</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">formatter</span></code> entries will take an
 | ||
| object id and resolve to the appropriate destination object.</p>
 | ||
| <p>However, a more generic mechanism is needed for user-defined
 | ||
| objects which are not known to the <a class="reference internal" href="logging.html#module-logging" title="logging: Flexible event logging system for applications."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging</span></code></a> module.  For
 | ||
| example, consider <a class="reference internal" href="logging.handlers.html#logging.handlers.MemoryHandler" title="logging.handlers.MemoryHandler"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.handlers.MemoryHandler</span></code></a>, which takes
 | ||
| a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">target</span></code> argument which is another handler to delegate to. Since
 | ||
| the system already knows about this class, then in the configuration,
 | ||
| the given <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">target</span></code> just needs to be the object id of the relevant
 | ||
| target handler, and the system will resolve to the handler from the
 | ||
| id.  If, however, a user defines a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">my.package.MyHandler</span></code> which has
 | ||
| an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">alternate</span></code> handler, the configuration system would not know that
 | ||
| the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">alternate</span></code> referred to a handler.  To cater for this, a generic
 | ||
| resolution system allows the user to specify:</p>
 | ||
| <div class="highlight-yaml notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nt">handlers</span><span class="p">:</span>
 | ||
| <span class="w">  </span><span class="nt">file</span><span class="p">:</span>

 | ||
| </pre></div>
 | ||
| </div>
 | ||
| <p>The literal string <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'cfg://handlers.file'</span></code> will be resolved in an
 | ||
| analogous way to strings with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ext://</span></code> prefix, but looking
 | ||
| in the configuration itself rather than the import namespace.  The
 | ||
| mechanism allows access by dot or by index, in a similar way to
 | ||
| that provided by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str.format</span></code>.  Thus, given the following snippet:</p>

 | ||
| </pre></div>
 | ||
| </div>
 | ||
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">level</span></code> entry can be one of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DEBUG,</span> <span class="pre">INFO,</span> <span class="pre">WARNING,</span> <span class="pre">ERROR,</span> <span class="pre">CRITICAL</span></code> or
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NOTSET</span></code>. For the root logger only, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NOTSET</span></code> means that all messages will be
 | ||
| logged. Level values are <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#func-eval"><span class="std std-ref">evaluated</span></a> in the context of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging</span></code>
 | ||
| package’s namespace.</p>
 | ||
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">handlers</span></code> entry is a comma-separated list of handler names, which must
 | ||
| appear in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[handlers]</span></code> section. These names must appear in the
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[handlers]</span></code> section and have corresponding sections in the configuration
 | ||
| file.</p>
 | ||
| <p>For loggers other than the root logger, some additional information is required.
 | ||
| This is illustrated by the following example.</p>
 | ||
| <div class="highlight-ini notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">[logger_parser]</span>
 | ||
| <span class="na">level</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">DEBUG</span>

 | ||
| <span class="na">qualname</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">compiler.parser</span>
 | ||
| </pre></div>
 | ||
| </div>
 | ||
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">level</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">handlers</span></code> entries are interpreted as for the root logger,
 | ||
| except that if a non-root logger’s level is specified as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NOTSET</span></code>, the system
 | ||
| consults loggers higher up the hierarchy to determine the effective level of the
 | ||
| logger. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">propagate</span></code> entry is set to 1 to indicate that messages must
 | ||
| propagate to handlers higher up the logger hierarchy from this logger, or 0 to
 | ||
| indicate that messages are <strong>not</strong> propagated to handlers up the hierarchy. The
 | ||
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">qualname</span></code> entry is the hierarchical channel name of the logger, that is to
 | ||
| say the name used by the application to get the logger.</p>
 | ||
| <p>Sections which specify handler configuration are exemplified by the following.</p>

 | ||
| in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging</span></code> package’s namespace). The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">level</span></code> is interpreted as for

| loggers, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NOTSET</span></code> is taken to mean ‘log everything’.</p>
 | ||
| <p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">formatter</span></code> entry indicates the key name of the formatter for this
 | ||
| handler. If blank, a default formatter (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging._defaultFormatter</span></code>) is used.
 | ||
| If a name is specified, it must appear in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[formatters]</span></code> section and have
