Is there a way to get the logger provided by prefect to log to stdout using the RichHandler? Or do I just need to create my own logger to do that?

atm you would need to create your custom logger and add it as extra loggers in Prefect settings

So it seems that even creating my own logger with a RichHandler does not use the rich colors when prefect includes it in the stdout.

does the colorful output mean that much to you? 😄 Prefect is an investor in https://www.textualize.io/ so I believe we may add better support for it in the future, but afaik not a high priority to do it anytime soon - to be fully transparent

Haha it is not that bit of a deal 😂. It makes them easier to read when testing stuff for me. I was just curious! And yes the UI logs are great.

great to hear - Prefect will definitely improve on that in the future

Check out this example on Discourse.

Oh this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you @Jeff Hale!

Nice Jeff! Forgot about this one
