Celery logger configuration

Question

I\'m using Django 1.10, python 3.5 and celery 4.1.0 I\'m trying to log celery tasks info into a file. So I tried as suggested in celery documentation -

from cele         


        

Answer 1

I was fiddling my logging this morning trying to figure out why my log was not progagated to the root logger, turned out as what @georgexsh said, celey is hijacking the root logger, here is my working logger config:

'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': True,
        },
        'cal': {
            'handlers': ['general'],
            'level': 'INFO',
            'propagate': True,
        },
        '': {
            'handlers': ['gelf'],
            'level': 'INFO',
        }
    }

And with CELERYD_HIJACK_ROOT_LOGGER = False in the settings.

All the celery logs are now going to graylog(defined in root) instead of the usual place.
