Hi Team, How can make the prefect to log the messages from the default python logger to log to cloud, so for example If I get the logger via:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

I have this in code everywhere and I don't want replace it with

from prefect.utilities.logging import get_logger

everywhere, is there a way to send the default logger messages to cloud?

Hi @Amit you can access the logger that your task is using during the run like this:

@task
def my_task():
    from prefect import context
    logger = context.get("logger")
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>("log this")

Alternatively you could log stdout and that will be sent to the cloud logger:

@task(log_stdout=True)
def my_task():
    print("log this")

Hi Josh thanks for your reply, I have the default logger already everywhere in the code base, is there no way to use that without changing it to prefect logger?

Oh I see, you can attach extra loggers to the prefect logger if you know the name of it like this https://docs.prefect.io/core/concepts/logging.html#extra-loggers

Yeah, I saw that but the name is not constant in this case logger:

logging.getLogger(__name__)

I guess, we need to use a common name then

We’re looking to make some improvements to the logger and if you would like to open a ticket for this as a suggestion on the repo that would be great 🙂

Sure, will add it thanks. 🙂

@Marvin open “Configure Prefect logger to capture default logs”

Thanks!
