Creating Log File Python

Logging is an incredibly important feature of any application as it gives both programmers and people supporting the application key insight into what their systems are doing. Without proper logging we have no real idea as to why our applications fail and no real recourse for fixing these applications

import logging
from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler

logFile = 'log.log'
USER = 'root'
formatter  = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(funcName)s(%(lineno)d) %(message)s')
handler = RotatingFileHandler(logFile, mode='a', maxBytes=5*1024*1024, backupCount=2, encoding=None, delay=0)
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
log = logging.getLogger(USER)
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)
log.addHandler(my_handler)

log.info("This is test statement")
