DBND creates default logging behavior on initialization. By default, DBND saves separate logs for every run, on the pipeline and task level. You can control the creation, format, and level of logs.

When Databand SDK runs as part of Airflow UI we will use Airflow Logging subsystem.

The default logging configuration includes the following log definitions:

[log]
disable = False
# Logging level
level = INFO
stream_stdout=False

# Logging format
formatter = [%%(asctime)s] {%%(filename)s:%%(lineno)d} %%(levelname)s - %%(message)s
formatter_simple = %%(asctime)s %%(levelname)s - %%(message)s
formatter_colorlog = [%%(asctime)s] %%(log_color)s%%(levelname)s %%(reset)s %%(task)-15s - %%(message)s

console_formatter = formatter_colorlog
file_formatter = formatter

sentry_url =

loggers_at_warning = azure.storage,flask_appbuilder

You can overwrite the default behavior in the DBND configuration files.
To write logs to stdout for Jupyter or PyCharm, apply the following configuration:

stream_stdout=True

You can always disable DBND logging by setting log.disabled to True.

Log to Sentry

Databand can be configured to send errors to Sentry.

First, install sentry sdk - pip install sentry_sdk
Second, configure databand:

[log]
sentry_url = <your sentry dsn>
sentry_env = <errors will be reported to this environment - default "dev">
sentry_debug = <optional flag - enable sentry debug mode>

Log Preview

Databand can save a preview of tasks and the main process logs at our service. preview_head_bytes and preview_tail_bytes define how much data will be sent to the service (max number of bytes). The default is 15KB.

[log]
preview_head_bytes = 15360
preview_tail_bytes = 15360
