@Marvin How can I disable the logs in Prefect UI when I run a flow on my local computer?

To disable logs in Prefect UI when running a flow on your local computer, you can modify the logging configuration in your Prefect settings. However, it's important to note that the logs provide valuable information for debugging and understanding the flow execution, so disabling them might not be the best approach. If you're seeing too many logs, you might want to adjust the log level instead. Prefect uses Python's built-in logging module, and you can set the level to WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL to reduce the number of log messages. If you still want to disable the logs, you can do so by setting the log level to NOTSET in your Prefect configuration file. Here's an example:
Copy code
[logging]
level = "NOTSET"
Please note that this will disable all logs, not just those displayed in the UI. If you want to disable logs only for the UI, you might need to customize the logger used by the UI. For more detailed information, you might want to check the Prefect documentation or ask in the Prefect community forum.

@Marvin I don't want to disable all logs. I want to log on my local terminal but not on the Prefect Cloud UI. Is it possible?

Based on the search results, it seems that Prefect's logging system is designed to capture information about flows and tasks for monitoring, troubleshooting, and auditing. You can view and filter logs in the Prefect UI or Prefect Cloud, or access log records via the API. However, there isn't a straightforward way mentioned to disable logging a local run to the Prefect Cloud UI while keeping the logs in the local terminal. For a more specific solution, I would recommend asking this question directly in the Prefect community forum or reaching out to Prefect support. They might be able to provide a more tailored solution or workaround for your use case.
