Prefect Community

Prefect logging question: When I ran below from Mac, both info and debug rows (2) were displayed, but when I registered and ran flow from Cloud, only 1 row, the <http://logger.info|logger.info> row is shown, please advise
logger=prefect.context.get("logger")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
<http://logger.info|logger.info>(‘this is test info )
logger.debug('this is test debug')

Did you set the logging level on the Flow?

You can do it on the RunConfig
```flow.run_config = RunConfig(..., env={"PREFECT__LOGGING__LEVEL": "DEBUG"}```

Not working: I ran same flow locally and  cloud and put them side by side , as you can see the 2 DEBUG messages is not showing  in cloud

This will be hard for me to guess without seeing more code. Could you give me a small example of something I can run?

```from prefect import Flow, task
from prefect.executors import LocalExecutor
from prefect.run_configs import LocalRun
import prefect
import logging


def get_logger():
    logger=prefect.context.get('logger')
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    <http://logger.info|logger.info>('task INFO')
    logger.debug('task DEBUG')
    return logger

def get_flow():
    get_logger_task = task(get_logger)
    with Flow("logger-flow") as f:
        get_logger_task()
        f.run_config = LocalRun(labels=['qa'])
    return f

flow = get_flow()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    flow.executor = LocalExecutor()
    flow.register("default")
    flow.run()```
compare output running from Cloud after registered, and ran locally

Thanks! Will try and explore this in a bit

But if change your flow to add the logging level I get:
```def get_flow():
    get_logger_task = task(get_logger)
    with Flow("logger-flow") as f:
        get_logger_task()
        f.run_config = LocalRun(env={"PREFECT__LOGGING__LEVEL": "DEBUG"})
    return f```

So the logger is created from context and I think any changes to it will only persist inside a task. I suggest you just use the global logging level. Are you trying to do something that requires multiple logging levels?

I like to log detail information in debug level. In the case there is issue, I can set to debug level so I can troubleshoot.

I don’t think the logging configuration stops that? You can just toggle the logging level to debug when you want to see debug level logs

In the same topic. I have parent flow that run child flow using create_flow_run.map...  how do I propagate same log level from parent flow to child flow?
```create_flow_run.map(
    flow_name=unmapped("livelots flow"),
    project_name=unmapped("LiveLots-ETL"),
    idempotency_key=idempotency_keys,
    parameters=filelist,
)```


The only way would be by adding a RunConfig with an env variable. `create_flow_run` takes in a RunConfig
