@Marvin what is the job variables that I can provide the cloud ui to force debug level logging on a deployment?

To help you with setting job variables for forcing debug level logging on a deployment in Prefect Cloud UI, I'll need to know which version of Prefect you are using. Can you specify whether you're using Prefect 2.x or Prefect 3.x? If you're not sure, please let me know, and I can guide you on how to check.

@Marvin Prefect 3.x

In Prefect 3.x, you can configure the logging level for a deployment in the Prefect Cloud UI by setting environment variables. Specifically, you can use job variables in your deployment's definition to set the logging level. To force debug level logging for a deployment, you can modify the

prefect.yaml

configuration file of your deployment to include the desired logging level setting. You can do this by adding a section for job variables, specifying the logging configuration as an environment variable. Here's how you can do it: 1. Open your deployment's

prefect.yaml

file. 2. Add or modify the

job_variables

section to include the

PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL

environment variable. For example:

deployments:
- name: demo-deployment
  entrypoint: demo_project/demo_flow.py:some_work
  work_pool:
    name: local
  job_variables:
    env:
      PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL: DEBUG
  schedule: null

After editing your YAML file, deploy it using:

prefect deploy -n demo-deployment

This configuration sets the logging level to DEBUG for your specific deployment. For more information, refer to the documentation on logging and customizing deployments here and here.

@Marvin what is the json format

If you want to configure the logging level in a JSON format for your Prefect deployment, you might be looking to structure a configuration file or snippet. In JSON format, the equivalent setup for enabling debug level logging would look something like this:

json
{
  "deployments": [
    {
      "name": "demo-deployment",
      "entrypoint": "demo_project/demo_flow.py:some_work",
      "work_pool": {
        "name": "local"
      },
      "job_variables": {
        "env": {
          "PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL": "DEBUG"
        }
      },
      "schedule": null
    }
  ]
}

In this JSON configuration: -

"name"

specifies the name of the deployment. -

"entrypoint"

refers to the function entry point for the deployment. -

"work_pool"

identifies the execution environment. -

"job_variables"

is where environment variables are defined, including setting the logging level to

DEBUG

. This JSON can be useful if you're programmatically generating deployment configurations or using a system that consumes JSON for deployment management.

can you provide just the job variables as json

Certainly! If you are configuring job variables specifically for setting the logging level to DEBUG, the JSON representation just for the job variables would look like this:

json
{
  "job_variables": {
    "env": {
      "PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL": "DEBUG"
    }
  }
}

This JSON snippet focuses solely on defining the job variables needed to enforce DEBUG level logging in your Prefect deployment. You would incorporate this into your larger deployment configuration as needed.
