[SOLVED] What is Python's default logging formatter?

What is Python's default logging formatter?

I'm trying to decipher the information contained in my logs (the logging setup is using the default formatter). The documentation states:

Do formatting for a record - if a formatter is set, use it. Otherwise, use the default formatter for the module.

However, I can't find any reference actually stating what this default format is.

Solution

The default format is located here which is:

BASIC_FORMAT = "%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s"

The section on formatting in the python docs will tell you how you can customize it. Here is one example on how you can customize it.

import sys
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format="[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s [%(name)s.%(funcName)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s",
    datefmt="%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S",
    stream=sys.stdout)

logging.info("HEY")

Which results in:

[26/May/2013 06:41:40] INFO [root.<module>:1] HEY
