Configuring logging

Cardinal provides lots of logging using Python's built-in logging module. If no logging configuration is provided, a very simple default showing the time, logger name, log level, and log message will appear on the console on stderr. By default, DEBUG level logs are hidden.

You can find an example for configuring the logging package in config.json.example. The settings defined in the example file offer a couple useful enhancements. Firstly, the console output on stderr will begin showing DEBUG level logs. Secondly, a copy of INFO logs and higher will be written to storage/logs/cardinal.log. It is recommended that you copy the example provided into your own config.json and customize it to suit your needs.

For a detailed list of all options that can be set, you should read through the Python documentation.
