Azure Blob storage SDK: Switch off logging

Question

I have an application which is using azure.storage.blob python module.

Evidently, when I am executing it, the module is dumping its log data in the logger which I dont want because it is large and my own application info gets lost in between it.

Is there any way to remove the logger from azure.storage.blob python module?

log sample:

INFO:azure.storage.common.storageclient:Client-Request-ID=d5afebc0-aa84-11e8-be16-000d3ae070ae Outgoing request: Method=PUT, Path=/marketingcloud-raw-events/2018/8/27/bounce.csv, Query={'timeout': None}, Headers={'Content-Length': '38176', 'x-ms-blob-type': 'BlockBlob', 'x-ms-version': '2018-03-28', 'x-ms-lease-id': None, 'x-ms-client-request-id': 'd5afebc0-aa84-11e8-be16-000d3ae070ae', 'If-Match': None, 'If-Modified-Since': None, 'If-None-Match': None, 'User-Agent': 'Azure-Storage/1.3.0-1.3.1 (Python CPython 2.7.15; Linux 4.15.0-1021-azure)'

Answer 1

This is actually very easy to do. You can adjust any logger.

Just do this near the start of your program to switch verbosity from INFO to WARNING, or whatever you prefer.

logging.getLogger("azure.storage.common.storageclient").setLevel(logging.WARNING)

Answer 2

Some messages are related to http calls. Also try the following:

logger=logging.getLogger('azure.core.pipeline.policies.http_logging_policy')
logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

Answer 3

I had the same issue that the azure blob API was spamming my log stream. When you build a BlobClient you can also pass a custom logger which you can control as you like.

logger = logging.getLogger("logger_name")
logger.disabled = True
my_blob_client = BlobClient.from_connection_string("azure blob connection string", container_name="container", blob_name="blob", logger=logger)
