Flask application with gunicorn in the app platform does not work Question Question
How to Deploy Flask App to App Platform Question Question

Question

Disable HTTP logs in apps platform

Posted February 18, 2021 561 views
PythonDigitalOcean App PlatformFlask

I have a flask application running in gunicorn in the app platform.
Run command:

gunicorn --config gconfig.py --worker-tmp-dir /dev/shm --log-level error wsgi:app

gconfig.py:

bind = '0.0.0.0:8080'
workers = 2
worker_class = 'gevent'
worker_connections = 1000

flask init:

if logging.getLogger('gunicorn.error').handlers:
    app.logger.handlers.clear()
    app.logger.handlers.extend(
        logging.getLogger('gunicorn.error').handlers)
    app.logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

But the logs contain http requests:

app-name | 2021-02-18 19:28:13 10.244.8.44 - - [18/Feb/2021:17:28:13 +0000] "POST /route HTTP/1.1" 200 322 "-" "Apache-HttpClient/4.5.7 (Java/1.8.0_212)"

I want the logs to contain only errors and the messages that I send myself:

current_app.logger.info('some log message')

The log messages you’ve referenced aren’t generated by App Platform. I suspect they’re being emitted by either gunicorn or flask. In gunicorn I believe you can disable the access log by setting accesslog = False. https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#settings

    accesslog sets the source to where the access logs will route and should be a string. I tried redirecting this to a file:

    accesslog = 'gunicorn.log'

    Then I changed the configuration of the logger:

    logging.basicConfig(
    handlers=[logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)],
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='[%(asctime)s] [%(process)d] [%(levelname)s]: %(message)s'
)
logging.getLogger('werkzeug').disabled = True
logging.getLogger('gunicorn.error').setLevel(logging.ERROR)

    This works locally as needed, including with gunicorn, but it does not work in digitalocean. The HTTP logs are still here.
