Python logging module

Logs from the standard Python logging module can be captured - see more details about the Python logging module here. This is done by adding the SimvueHandler to the logger, for example: 

from simvue import Run, Handler

with Run() as run:
    run.init()

    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
    logger.addHandler(Handler(run))

This enables log messages to be visible in the Simvue UI and alerts can be defined which check for the occurence of specified string(s) in the logs.

It is important to note that only events which have a serverity above the selected logging level will be displayed in the UI. The default level for the Python logging module is logging.WARNING, so only events of WARNING, ERROR or CRITICAL severities will be displayed. You can change this for your logger using logger.setLevel. For example, to set the level to DEBUG: 

logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
