Logs directory

Create a directory named logs to launch the WebScripts Server. If logs directory does not exists or is not a directory, the WebScripts Server will try to create it.

mkdir logs

Default logging

Level

The logs level is "0" (all logs are written). You can change the logging level in configuration files or by using command line arguments.

Recommended: In production (for security reasons) the log level should be 0 or DEBUG.

The WebScripts Server use six differents levels:

1. Value: 50, is CRITICAL
2. Value: 40, is ERROR
3. Value: 30, is WARNING
4. Value: 20, is INFO
5. Value: 10, is DEBUG
6. Value: 5, is TRACE

Loggers

• console: print logs with level greater than DEBUG(10) in stdout
• file: write logs with level greater than DEBUG(10) in logs/00-server.logs
• log_trace: write logs TRACE in logs/05-trace.logs
• log_debug: write logs DEBUG in logs/10-debug.logs
• log_info: write logs INFO in logs/20-info.logs
• log_warning: write logs WARNING in logs/30-warning.logs
• log_error: write logs ERROR in logs/40-error.logs
• log_critical: write logs CRITICAL in logs/50-critical.logs

Exceptions

If an exceptions is catched by the WebScripts Server, it will be written in console, file and log_error loggers.

Console

In console logger i added terminal colors to quickly identify logs level:

• DEBUG logs are green
• INFO logs are blue
• WARNING logs are yellow
• ERROR logs are purple
• CRITICAL logs are red

Linux

On linux WebScripts logs with level DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR and CRITICAL are redirected in syslog.

Windows

On Windows if pywin32 is installed logs with level DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR and CRITICAL are redirected in EventViewer.
