= Trac Logging =
Trac supports logging of system messages using the standard ''logging'' module part of Python 2.3 and newer.
'''Warning:''' If you are using a version of Python older than 2.3, log messages will be silently thrown away!

== Supported Methods ==
 * '''none''' -- Suppress all log messages.
 * '''file''' -- Log messages to a file, specified in the [wiki:TracConfiguration configuration] (Using the ''log_file'' directive in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini]). 
 * '''stderr''' -- Output all log entries to console. (tracd only)
 * '''syslog''' -- (UNIX) Send messages to local syslogd via named pipe '/dev/log'.
 * '''winlog''' -- (Windows) Use the system's NT eventlog for Trac logging.

== Log Levels ==
The level of verbosity of logged messages can be set using the ''log_level'' directive in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini]. The log level defines the minimum level of urgency required for a message to be logged.

The levels are:
 * ''CRITICAL'' -- Log only the most critical, typically fatal, messages.
 * ''ERROR'' -- Request failures, bugs and errors. 
 * ''WARN'' -- Warnings, non-interrupting events.
 * ''INFO'' -- Diagnostic information, log information about all requests.
 * ''DEBUG'' -- Development messages, profiling, etc. Not for public consumption.
