Python Cherrypy: Disable logging of requests

Question

I'm trying to silence the logging of http requests from CherryPy. I've tried

cherrypy.log.access_file = None

which as I understand it should remove the handler for access logging, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Answer 1

Apparently, telling CherryPy to stop logging doesn't actually do anything when you've independently configured Python's logging module. The solution is to do this:

cherrypy.log.error_log.propagate = False
cherrypy.log.access_log.propagate = False

(Hat tip to this blog post, which is unfortunately now down.)

Answer 2

This is how I normally do:

    access_log = cherrypy.log.access_log
    for handler in tuple(access_log.handlers):
        access_log.removeHandler(handler)
