Logging

The library includes a built-in console logger. The logger’s configuration is controlled by the config.Logging.get() class object.

Redirecting the log to a file

You can redirect the cterasdk log to a file by setting the environment variable CTERASDK_LOG_FILE

Disabling the Logger

The logger is enabled by default. To disable the logger, run:

config.Logging.get().disable()

Changing the Log Level

The default logging level is set to logging.INFO. To change the log level, run:

config.Logging.get().setLevel(logging.ERROR) # will log severity >= error

config.Logging.get().setLevel(logging.WARNING) # will log severity >= warning

Log Levels

The available log levels are:

Level Numeric Value
CRITICAL 50
ERROR 40
WARNING 30
INFO 20
DEBUG 10
