I am writing an MQ Configuration Check script. I would like to add the host/node name to the file name. I looked at alot of Google search results on the subject. No one seems to use a logging.conf file. I tried implementing 'some' of what looked like what would fit. No luck. Anyone? Here is the logging.conf file. As a last resort I can add the host/node name to the message.
| Code: |
[loggers]
keys=root,MQHardening
[handlers]
keys=fileHandler
[formatters]
keys=MQHardening
[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
handlers=fileHandler
[logger_MQHardening]
level=DEBUG
handlers=fileHandler
qualname=MQHardening
propagate=0
[handler_fileHandler]
class=FileHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=MQHardening
args=(__import__("datetime").datetime.now().strftime('/var/mqm/hardening/MQHardening_%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%H-%%M-%%S.log'), 'a')
####### args=('MQHardening.log', 'w')
[formatter_MQHardening]
format=%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s |

/var/mqm/hardening ? Is this a local MQ hardening / checking solution at your company ? It's not part of the MQ product, and shouldn't be in /var/mqm, as it may interfere with the IBM MQ installation or configuration.

Your question is unclear. Are you asking how to obtain the current host/node name (in order to put them as part of a file name) in Python?
Cheers,

I can get the Server/Node name. That is easy. Getting it into the name of the log file..........well.
I went the logging.conf file route. All the examples I see are setting the logging variables programmatically. I was looking for an example, but I feel I may have to change the code to do it programmatically. |

@gbaddeley,
Customer.
That was on a test AIX box I provisioned inside my own company. When I moved it to the customers server the location changed to something more appropriate. Thanks for Policing. |

Do you mean that you are trying to use this: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html
?
I use the same logging but have never used the config file, just called logging.basicConfig - I guess I didn't need whatever complexity you are after.
Suggest Stackoverflow might be a better forum for your question than here?
Cheers,
Morag

Yes, EXACTLY!!
There was some education and video stuff on a UNIX forum for logging.conf . I found the creators name and sent him an email with the same question. But, that is a crap shoot.
When I have the time, I guess my route is to change the code. In the long run it will make changes easier. I can move the important stuff from the logging.conf file up to my main properties file and stilll have control.
You know what is going to happen? When I find the time, change it, get it tested and working, the guy will answer me..................and it will be simple!!!! LOL
They are going to run this script on all their QMGRS to get them in internal compliance and keep them that way. Not really Hardening, but that is what they want to name them. If they start uploading these to a repository I wanted the server name in the file name to distinguish them apart. |

Does this actually work, to include date time in the log file name?
args calls eval. Can eval be used to build up a formatted string with two { } expressions, containing code like strftime('%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%H-%%M-%%S), and os.environ['HOSTNAME'] ?
Sorry, I'm not an experienced python programmer, and haven't tried anything like this in eval.

It has been working from the very start. This is the name of the file in my log directory:
MQHardening_2022-07-05_07-56-16.log
If you dig down into the logger doc. There are one or two things that are supported in naming the logger file. |

Good luck. Sorry, I don't have time to pursue this any further atm.
