How do I write messages to the output log on AWS Glue?

Question

AWS Glue jobs log output and errors to two different CloudWatch logs, /aws-glue/jobs/error and /aws-glue/jobs/output by default. When I include p

Answer 1

I know the article is not new but maybe it could be helpful for someone: For me logging in glue works with the following lines of code:

# create glue context
glueContext = GlueContext(sc)
# set custom logging on
logger = glueContext.get_logger()
...
#write into the log file with:
logger.info("s3_key:" + your_value)

Answer 2

Just in case this helps. This works to change the log level.

sc = SparkContext()
sc.setLogLevel('DEBUG')
glueContext = GlueContext(sc)
logger = glueContext.get_logger()
logger.info('Hello Glue')

Answer 3

Try to use built-in python logger from logging module, by default it writes messages to standard output stream.

import logging

MSG_FORMAT = '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(name)s: %(message)s'
DATETIME_FORMAT = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
logging.basicConfig(format=MSG_FORMAT, datefmt=DATETIME_FORMAT)
logger = logging.getLogger(<logger-name-here>)

logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

...

logger.info("Test log message")

I noticed the above answers are written in python. For Scala you could do the following

import com.amazonaws.services.glue.log.GlueLogger

object GlueApp {
  def main(sysArgs: Array[String]) {
    val logger = new GlueLogger
    logger.info("info message")
    logger.warn("warn message")
    logger.error("error message")
  }
}

You can find both Python and Scala solution from official doc here

I faced the same problem. I resolved it by added logging.getLogger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout))

Before there was no prints at all, even ERROR level

The idea was taken from here https://medium.com/tieto-developers/how-to-do-application-logging-in-aws-745114ac6eb7

Another option would be to log to stdout and glue AWS logging to stdout (using stdout is actually one of the best practices in cloud logging).

Update: it works only for setLevel("WARNING") and when prints ERROR or WARING. I didn't find how to manage it for the INFO level :(
