Remove the log level printing in python logging

Question

By default when I configure the logging as below,

logging.basicConfig(filename="/tmp/Hom_Controller.log",level=logging.DEBUG)

Now in logs I get as below,

DEBUG:Hom_Controller.log:{'datetime': 'Thu Oct  5 11:27:27 2017', 'message': 'Request finished with error, response code: 401 Unauthorized', 'log_type': 'debug'}
ERROR:Hom_Controller.log:{'datetime': 'Thu Oct  5 11:28:08 2017', 'message': 'Request finished with error, response code: 401 Unauthorized', 'log_type': 'error'}

As I have already formatted my message in json format , I don't want to print the ERROR:Hom_Controller.log: or DEBUG:Hom_Controller.log

Answer 1

Use the logging.formatter to format your logs to not include it.

import logging

# create logger
logger = logging.getLogger('simple_example')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# create console handler and set level to debug
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# create formatter
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(message)s')

# add formatter to ch
ch.setFormatter(formatter)

# add ch to logger
logger.addHandler(ch)

Answer 2

to fix it modify the format to your specific needs e.g.

logging.basicConfig(format='[%(asctime)s]:%(message)s',filename="/tmp/Hom_Controller.log", level=logging.DEBUG)
