Logger
Code can be found here: https://github.com/ATLUTDVIPs/Logger
Purpose
This is meant to build a standardized logging mechanism for all of my scripts. Saving time, and preventing duplication of efforts.
Usage
logger = CustomLogger( __file__, "Debug" )
Call the call, setting the overall logging level. Levels include: "Debug", "Info", "Warning", "Error", or "Critical"
The script will then take those values and convert them into the logging levels. ex: logging.DEBUG. I do that to prevent the calling script from also having to include logging.
This will also create a log file matching the name of the calling script.
ex: If the script is test.py, then a log file will be created in the same directory, under /logs/test.log
All information sent to the Logger is written to the log file. However, what is outputted to the screen can be adjusted.
Based on the default logging level, all logging for that ( and above ) are displayed. All logging below that level is not printed.
ex: By setting the logging level to Warning, logging levels of Critical, Error, and Warning are displayed, but Debug is not.
logger = CustomLogger( __file__, "Warning" )
Debug info would still be written to the log. By doing that, you can set a series of messages within your script, from info to Critical. And have them output at the appropriate time.
# Example usage:
logger = CustomLogger( __file__, "Debug" )
logger.Log( f"This is a message without a set type" )
logger.Log( f"This is a debug message", "Debug" )
logger.Log( f"This is an info message", "Info" )
logger.Log( f"This is a warning message", "Warning" )
logger.Log( f"This is an error message", "Error" )
logger.Log( f"This is a critical message", "Critical" )
