basicConfig: bootstrapping the logging package
In logging: R logging package

Description Usage Arguments Details Examples

'basicConfig' and 'logReset' provide a way to put the logging package in a know initial state.

1 2	basicConfig(level) logReset()

level

the logging level of the root logger. defaults to INFO. please do notice that this has no effect on the handling level of the handler that basicConfig attaches to the root logger.

basicConfig: creates the root logger, attaches a console handler to it and sets the level of the handler to logging.level INFO. the level of the logger can be passed as a parameter to the function.
logReset: reinitializes the whole logging system as if the package had just been loaded. typically, you would want to call basicConfig immediately after a call to logReset.

library(logging)
basicConfig()
logdebug("not shown, basic is INFO")
logwarn("shown and timestamped")
logReset()
logwarn("not shown, as no handlers are present after a reset")
