Question

Is there a way to get timestamps on the prefect agent logs We are running the agent on a windows server using <https nssm cc |nssm> and the STDERR appears to have no timestamps

Hm there are timestamps in all of our default logging configs Did you change the log format

jack · Answer

We do get timestamps on the logs that are shipped to prefect But the STDERR from the prefect agent itself appears to have no timestamps We have this environment variable set to affect the logs that go to prefect ```SET PREFECT LOGGING FORMATTERS STANDARD TASK RUN FMT= asctime s msecs 03d | levelname 7s | task name s | message s ```

Here are the last three lines of STDERR captured in the logfile ``` lt frozen runpy gt 128 RuntimeWarning prefect engine found in sys modules after import of package prefect but prior to execution of prefect engine this may result in unpredictable behaviour lt frozen runpy gt 128 RuntimeWarning prefect engine found in sys modules after import of package prefect but prior to execution of prefect engine this may result in unpredictable behaviour lt frozen runpy gt 128 RuntimeWarning prefect engine found in sys modules after import of package prefect but prior to execution of prefect engine this may result in unpredictable behaviour```

Those aren t logs those are just warnings Python is emitting to stderr

jack · Answer

Okay two questions 1 Is it a heavy lift to get timestamps on those warnings emitted to stderr 2 Is the warning important or does everybody get this warning

Zanie · Answer

1 Yes that s not controlled by us and bypasses logging We d need to hook into all stderr which would be weird 2 Not important We want to fix it but it has no effect so it s a low priority
