Bug: Register existing loggers function should use module logging, not source logger

[plondino]

Expected Behaviour

I would expect that the logging levels for code in aws_lambda_powertools library can be adjusted independently of the main application code.

For example, if I explicitly configure the aws_lambda_powertools module to have an INFO level, I wouldn't get messages from the library higher than info, e.g.:

logging.getLogger('aws_lambda_powertools').setLevel(logging.INFO)

I would also expect the name attribute of the log messages to be the module, not the service name.

Current Behaviour

Currently the copy_config_to_registered_loggers uses the passed in source logger (the logger configured for the top level application) to log its own configuration messages, so if my source logger is set to DEBUG, I get a bunch of debug messages from this code:

source_logger.debug(f"Logger {logger} reconfigured to use {source_handler}")

e.g.

{"level":"DEBUG","location":"_configure_logger:102","message":"Logger <Logger concurrent (WARNING)> reconfigured to use <StreamHandler <_io.FileIO name=6 mode='rb+' closefd=True> (NOTSET)>","timestamp":"2024-07-08T19:55:26.427-0400","service":"publisher","name":"publisher"}
{"level":"DEBUG","location":"_configure_logger:102","message":"Logger <Logger asyncio (WARNING)> reconfigured to use <StreamHandler <_io.FileIO name=6 mode='rb+' closefd=True> (NOTSET)>","timestamp":"2024-07-08T19:55:26.427-0400","service":"publisher","name":"publisher"}

This is problematic because:
a) I have no way to adjust the verbosity of this function short of setting my entire application log level
b) It shows the log messages as originating from my application and not from the powertools modules.

Ideally, the module should configure a regular Python logger and use that for its own internal logging.

Hello @heitorlessa! Can you help with this when you get back from PTO?

[heitorlessa]

@plondino thanks a lot for submitting it!

yup, I've changed to not-a-bug as IIRC this was intentional (a disagree & commit situation) back then from the community.

b) It shows the log messages as originating from my application and not from the powertools modules.

This was the original argument back then but it got lost in between calls and PRs. I agree ^ and it's a quick change that we can include this Thursday's release.
