Package Logging

Description

The Standard or user specifig logging is carried out by the log.py module of the logging package ka_uts_log using the standard- or user-configuration files in the logging package configuration directory:

• <logging package directory>/cfg/ka_std_log.yml,

• <logging package directory>/cfg/ka_usr_log.yml.

The Logging configuration of the logging package could be overriden by yaml files with the same names in the application package- or application data-configuration directories:

• <application package directory>/cfg

• <application data directory>/cfg.

Log message types

Logging defines log file path names for the following log message types: .

1. debug

2. info

3. warning

4. error

5. critical

Log types and Log directories

Single or multiple Application log directories can be used for each message type:

Log types and directoriesg

Log type	Log directory
long	short	multiple	single
debug	dbqs	dbqs	logs
info	infs	infs	logs
warning	wrns	wrns	logs
error	errs	errs	logs
critical	crts	crts	logs

Application parameter for logging

Application parameter used in log naming

Name	Decription	Values	Example
dir_dat	Application data directory		/otev/data
tenant	Application tenant name		UMH
package	Application package name		otev_xls_srr
cmd	Application command		evupreg
pid	Process ID		681025
log_ts_type	Timestamp type used in logging files|ts, dt	ts, dt’	ts
log_sw_single_dir	Enable single log directory or multiple log directories	True, False	True

Overview

Python package overview files

Name	Definition
Python package files	Files within a python package.
Python package special files	Package files which are not modules and used as python marker files like __init__.py.
Python package module	Files with suffix .py; they could be empty or contain python code; other modules can be imported into a module.
