How can I format Flask Werkzeug logging or move the request values to my logger format?

I am pretty green to Flask but not Python. I'm setting up my logging for my like so:

In logger.py:

logfile = f"{ basedir }/app.log"
log_format = '%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - (%(threadName)-10s) - %(message)s'
logging.basicConfig(filename = logfile, format = log_format, level=logging.DEBUG)
log = logging.getLogger()

Then in each file:

from logger import log
log.debug("Oh no, the sky is falling!")

When my webapp gets an API call, it emits the following into the log:

2023-08-08 16:48:21,559 - INFO - (Thread-80 (process_request_thread)) - 111.222.333.444 - - [08/Aug/2023 16:48:21] "GET /v1/user/ HTTP/1.1" 200 -
                                                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The 1st half-ish is per my formatting. Werkzeug adds additional info to the end of the line, which I've noted. Note that the time/date is superfluous. I like the IP and request information.

How can I either:

a. Format that Werkzeug output to remove the time/date and possibly add additional meaningful values?

b. Just remove the Werkzeug output but add the IP and request info to the normal logger output?

    You can't change werkzeug logs. They are hardcoded in. See code here.
