Environment variables

Variables explained

• Level (LOGGER_LEVEL)

  • It uses the constants of logging

  • Determines the minimum level that logs will need to be logged

  • Accepted values: NOTSET, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL.

• Handlers

  • Determines the outputs enabled for the logs

  • Console handler variable (C_HANDLER_ENABLED) enables the output in the terminal

  • File handler variable (F_HANDLER_ENABLED) enables the output to a file

  • Both variables are boolean (TRUE or FALSE. It isn’t case sensitive, so TRUE = true = True)

Name	Values accepted (*)	Defaults
CH_ENABLED	TRUE, FALSE	TRUE
FH_ENABLED	TRUE, FALSE	FALSE
LOGGER_LEVEL	NOTSET, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL	INFO

(*) = Case-insensitive. For example INFO is the same as info, Info, etc.

Custom Values

After the variables are loaded into the environment, you can load them into the logger configuration like this:

from logger import LoggerConfig

LoggerConfig.load_env_vars()

If you want to use a file like .env in your root folder, first you need to load them into your environment, with something like python-dotenv. Anyways, this is made by batch and if you use that library, it will load your configuration from .env if you put custom values there.
