im not sure i understand what you mean by the json logging here, do you have an example of what you want?

I was hoping for a more structured version of the logging
I saw a json format in the config file
but can't get it to log in the json format
I want to change the console logs to json, i foung this doc but it pre-dates the current logging.yaml format https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-set-a-custom-logging-formatter/1802
I want to keep the api as is, but since we stream the console logs to a common log platform I was hoping to et them in json

as mentioned in the lower part of that discourse post, you can change the logging.yaml file like e.g.
Copy code
handlers:

    # The handlers we define here will output all logs they receieve by default
    # but we include the `level` so it can be overridden by environment

    console:
        level: 0
        class: prefect.logging.handlers.PrefectConsoleHandler
        formatter: json # <------ I made this change HERE
        styles:
            log.web_url: bright_blue
            log.local_url: bright_blue

            log.info_level: cyan
            log.warning_level: yellow3
            log.error_level: red3
            log.critical_level: bright_red

            log.completed_state: green
            log.cancelled_state: yellow3
            log.failed_state: red3
            log.crashed_state: bright_red

            log.flow_run_name: magenta
            log.flow_name: bold magenta
and then set the logging settings path like
Copy code
prefect config set PREFECT_LOGGING_SETTINGS_PATH=logging.yml
and so the consoles output becomes JSON formatted like
Copy code
In [5]: @flow(log_prints=True)
   ...: def foo():
   ...:     print("Hello!")
   ...:

In [6]: foo()
