      1  = Trac Logging = 
      2  [[TracGuideToc]] 
      3   
      4  Trac supports logging of system messages using the standard ''logging'' module part of Python 2.3 and newer. 
      5   
      6  '''Note:''' If you are using a Python version older than 2.3, the Trac logging mechanism will be silently disabled. 
      7   
      8  Logging is configured in the {{{[logging]}}} section in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini]. 
      9   
      10  == Python 2.2 Workaround == 
      11  If you are using Python 2.2, however, note that the logging package from Python 2.3 works perfectly under 2.2 as well; you can just copy the entire {{{logging}}} directory from the Python 2.3 library into the Python 2.2 lib directory. Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it works.

      14  == Supported Logging Methods == 
      15   * '''none''' -- Suppress all log messages. 
      16   * '''file''' -- Log messages to a file, specified with the ''log_file'' directive in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini].  
      17   * '''stderr''' -- Output all log entries to console ([wiki:TracStandalone tracd] only). 
      18   * '''syslog''' -- (UNIX) Send messages to local syslogd via named pipe '/dev/log'. 
      19   * '''winlog''' -- (Windows) Use the system's NT eventlog for Trac logging. 
      20   
      21  == Log Levels == 
      22  The level of verbosity of logged messages can be set using the ''log_level'' directive in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini]. The log level defines the minimum level of urgency required for a message to be logged. 
      23   
      24  The levels are: 
      25   * ''CRITICAL'' -- Log only the most critical, typically fatal, messages. 
      26   * ''ERROR'' -- Request failures, bugs and errors.  
      27   * ''WARN'' -- Warnings, non-interrupting events. 
      28   * ''INFO'' -- Diagnostic information, log information about all requests. 
      29   * ''DEBUG'' -- Development messages, profiling, etc. Not fit for human consumption.
