Logger Monitor

The zc.loggermonitor package provides a zc.monitor plugin for getting and setting logger levels.

>>> import sys, zc.loggermonitor

It is an error to call the monitor without user arguments.

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: level() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)

If you pass it a logger name, it returns the current effective level:

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.')
NOTSET
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger')
NOTSET

If you pass a level it sets the level:

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.', 'INFO')

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.')
INFO
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger')
INFO

You can also pass a numeric value:

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger', '5')
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.')
INFO
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger')
Level 5

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger', '10')
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.')
INFO
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger')
DEBUG

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger', 'NOTSET')
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.')
INFO
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger')
INFO

>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.', 'NOTSET')
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, '.')
NOTSET
>>> zc.loggermonitor.level(sys.stdout, 'mylogger')
NOTSET
