Turn it down in a quiet production environment: <\/p>\n

\n
logging<\/span>.<\/span>getLogger<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>staypresent<\/span>\"<\/span>).<\/span>setLevel<\/span>(<\/span>logging<\/span>.<\/span>WARNING<\/span>)<\/span> <\/code><\/pre>\n
\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
This setting only affects StayPresent’s own log output \u2014 it has no effect on your bot’s separate loggers, and vice versa.<\/p>\n
  <\/a> Attaching Your Own Handler <\/h2>\n
Since it’s a real logger object, you can attach additional handlers \u2014 to forward StayPresent’s events to a file, a monitoring service, or a Discord webhook, for example: <\/p>\n
\n
import<\/span> logging<\/span> file_handler<\/span> =<\/span> logging<\/span>.<\/span>FileHandler<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>staypresent.log<\/span>\"<\/span>)<\/span> file_handler<\/span>.<\/span>setFormatter<\/span>(<\/span>logging<\/span>.<\/span>Formatter<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s<\/span>\"<\/span>))<\/span> logging<\/span>.<\/span>getLogger<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>staypresent<\/span>\"<\/span>).<\/span>addHandler<\/span>(<\/span>file_handler<\/span>)<\/span> <\/code><\/pre>\n
\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
This adds to StayPresent’s existing dedicated StreamHandler<\/code> rather than replacing it, so console output and your new handler both receive events unless you explicitly remove the default one.<\/p>\n
  <\/a> Logging During Multi-Bot Runs <\/h2>\n
When running several bots at once, log lines identify which bot they refer to using a label \u2014 normally just the filename (bot[0] 'worker.py'<\/code>), or the dotted module path for bot_module<\/code>-based bots (bot[0] 'mypkg.bot'<\/code>). If two bots share an identical filename, StayPresent automatically switches to logging the full file path for every bot sharing that name, specifically so crash\/restart messages stay distinguishable in the logs rather than becoming ambiguous.<\/p>\n
  <\/a> Logging During Shutdown <\/h2>\n
On SIGINT<\/code>\/SIGTERM<\/code>, the shutdown sequence itself is logged \u2014 including whether a previously-installed signal handler is being chained afterward. active_cron_handles()<\/code> is also checked during shutdown, and any pinger still running at that point is logged purely for visibility (it isn’t stopped or waited on, since cron pingers run on daemon threads that exit automatically with the process).<\/p>\n
  <\/a> Full Example <\/h2>\n
\n
import<\/span> logging<\/span> import<\/span> staypresent<\/span> # Turn up StayPresent's own logs for a specific debugging session <\/span>logging<\/span>.<\/span>getLogger<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>staypresent<\/span>\"<\/span>).<\/span>setLevel<\/span>(<\/span>logging<\/span>.<\/span>DEBUG<\/span>)<\/span> # Your bot's own logger, configured completely independently <\/span>bot_logger<\/span> =<\/span> logging<\/span>.<\/span>getLogger<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>mybot<\/span>\"<\/span>)<\/span> bot_logger<\/span>.<\/span>setLevel<\/span>(<\/span>logging<\/span>.<\/span>INFO<\/span>)<\/span> bot_logger<\/span>.<\/span>addHandler<\/span>(<\/span>logging<\/span>.<\/span>StreamHandler<\/span>())<\/span> staypresent<\/span>.<\/span>web<\/span>.<\/span>json<\/span>({<\/span>\"<\/span>status<\/span>\"<\/span>:<\/span> \"<\/span>running<\/span>\"<\/span>})<\/span> staypresent<\/span>.<\/span>run<\/span>(<\/span>\"<\/span>bot.py<\/span>\"<\/span>)<\/span> <\/code><\/pre>\n
\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Both loggers coexist cleanly \u2014 turning StayPresent’s level up or down has zero effect on mybot<\/code>‘s own output.<\/p>\n
