In addition to logging to the console, you can also store log messages in files for later analysis or archiving. This is particularly useful for long-running applications or when you need to review historical logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a File Handler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Import the FileHandler:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python<\/p>\n\n\n\n

import logging.handlers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a File Handler:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python<\/p>\n\n\n\n

file_handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(‘app.log’, maxBytes=102400, backupCount=5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This creates a file handler that writes logs to the app.log<\/code> file. When the file size exceeds 100 KB (102400 bytes), a new file is created and the old file is renamed to app.log.1<\/code>, app.log.2<\/code>, etc., up to 5 backup files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the Formatter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python<\/p>\n\n\n\n

formatter = logging.Formatter(‘%(asctime)s – %(name)s – %(levelname)s – %(message)s’)
file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the Handler to the Logger:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python<\/p>\n\n\n\n

logger.addHandler(file_handler)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a Rotating File Handler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rotating file handlers are useful for managing log file size and preventing them from becoming too large. You can configure the maxBytes<\/code> and backupCount<\/code> parameters to control the maximum file size and the number of backup files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a TimedRotatingFileHandler<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For rotating logs based on time intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly), use the TimedRotatingFileHandler<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python<\/p>\n\n\n\n

file_handler = logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler('app.log', when='midnight', interval=1)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
