@Marvin How can I disable prefect logging to stdout

It seems that I encountered an issue while trying to gather the latest Prefect version and searching the documentation. To address your question effectively, I'll assume you're using either Prefect 2.x or 3.x, and I'll proceed with searching for ways to disable logging to stdout for both versions. Let's perform the searches and find you a solution. I'll start with searching how to disable logging to stdout in Prefect 2.x and 3.x documentation. In both Prefect 2.x and 3.x, you can manage logging configurations and potentially disable logging to stdout by adjusting the Prefect configuration settings: 1. Logging Configuration: - Prefect uses the standard Python

logging

module for logging configuration. - You can customize logging settings using a Prefect configuration file or environment variables. 2. Disabling Log Prints: - For individual tasks or flows, you can control whether to log print statements using the

log_prints

parameter when defining them. 3. Global Logging Configuration: - You can globally adjust logging behavior by setting environment variables or using the Prefect configuration. - To prevent log output to stdout, you might want to redirect or suppress the specific log handlers or adjust the logging levels. For more specific instructions, please check the links to the documentation for each version: - Prefect 2.x Logging Guide - Prefect 3.x Logging Guide These resources can guide you on configuring logging to fit your preferences, including possibly disabling stdout logging by adjusting the root logger configuration or using a custom

logging.yml

.

@Marvin in prefect 2.x I want to disable logging of this during task creation to stdout

Flow run 'garnet-silkworm' - Created task run 'mytask-77' for task 'mytask'

To disable or manage the logging output you're seeing in Prefect 2.x, especially to prevent specific log lines like task creation logs from appearing, you can customize your logging settings by focusing on the logger that Prefect uses for flow runs and task creation. Here's a general guidance on how you can achieve this: 1. Customizing Prefect Logging Levels: - Prefect uses Python's logging module underlyingly. You can control the verbosity by setting the appropriate logging levels for specific loggers. - If you want to silence the console output for specific loggers, you might want to change the log level to a higher threshold like

ERROR

or

CRITICAL

for specific Prefect loggers. 2. Environment Variables and Configuration File: - You can adjust the logging configuration through environment variables or a custom logging configuration file. - For flow runs, you may attempt to modify the logger level specifically for flow runs. This can be set up via configuration commands or by defining a custom

logging.yml

. 3. Example Commands: - To change log level globally:

bash
     prefect config set PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL="ERROR"

- You might need a more nuanced configuration that specifically targets the logger generating the task creation message. For further detailed customization, please refer to the Prefect documentation, which provides insights into adjusting the specific loggers: - Prefect 2.x Logging Guide This approach should help you manage and potentially disable specific logging output to stdout based on your needs.
