Cameron, thanks. I read something similar elsewhere, but I don't understand what levels to set, and how many times.
Are we saying that we execute root_logger = logging.getLogger() root_logger.setLevel(1) #Or some other level , prior to running logging.basicConfig(...), for each type of logging. So like this? root_logger = logging.getLogger() root_logger.setLevel(1) #Or some other level logging.basicConfig( filename = "CheckConnectivity_error.log" ) root_logger = logging.getLogger() root_logger.setLevel(2) #Or some other level logging.basicConfig( filename = "CheckConnectivity_info.log" ) root_logger = logging.getLogger() root_logger.setLevel(3) #Or some other level logging.basicConfig( filename = "CheckConnectivity_debug.log" ) ? Sorry, but I don't have the full context of this.
