Prefect Community

I have a question about logging with *async* flows in Prefect 2. In short, if we start a flow like this:

```from prefect import flow, get_run_logger

@flow()
async def my_flow():
    logger = get_run_logger()
    # Start async process and pass logger```
Will the logger also be *async*?

As a bit of background, we have an *async* process that spawns multiple other *async* processes and will create a good deal of logging that we need to catch with the prefect logger. We want to make sure that the logging won't cause any blocking issues. Is passing a logger in this way a safe way to go about it for *async* code?

Python doesn’t support async loggers by default

The handler that sends logs to our API is _always_ running async in a separate thread, but you’ll never actually await emitting a log message — since it’s just placed on a queue it’s non-blocking.
