Configuration Options

oslo.log uses oslo.config to define and manage configuration options to allow the deployer to control how an application’s logs are handled.

DEFAULT

debug

Type:boolean Default:false

If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

verbose

Type:boolean Default:true

If set to false, the logging level will be set to WARNING instead of the default INFO level.

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

log_config_append

Type:string Default:<None>

The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other logging configuration options are ignored (for example, logging_context_format_string).

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
DEFAULT	log_config

log_date_format

Type:string Default:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

Defines the format string for %(asctime)s in log records. Default: the value above . This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

log_file

Type:string Default:<None>

(Optional) Name of log file to send logging output to. If no default is set, logging will go to stderr as defined by use_stderr. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Deprecated Variations

Group	Name
DEFAULT	logfile

log_dir

Type:string Default:<None>

(Optional) The base directory used for relative log_file paths. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.
