Prefect Community

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? :smile:

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

if that helps, we do support colors in the UI to distinguish diff log levels

Haha it is not that bit of a deal :joy:. 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

Oh this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you <@U03KWSKFN8L>!
