Logging

The Allie SDK uses Python’s built-in logging module to log messages. By default, the SDK logs messages to the console.

You can configure the logging behavior by setting the ALLIE_SDK_LOG_LEVEL and ALLIE_SDK_LOG_HANDLERS environment variables. The following log handlers can be enabled:

• console_for_allie: Logs messages to the console. This is the default handler.
• file_for_allie: Logs messages to a file named allie-sdk-<date>.log in the logs directory.
• api_json: Logs API request and response details to a file named alation-rest-<date>.json in the logs directory.

The handlers can be specified as a comma-separated list. For example, to enable both console and file logging, set the environment variable as follows:

export ALATION_SDK_LOG_HANDLERS="console_for_allie,file_for_allie"
