## Logging

This library uses Python's built-in `logging` module to perform logging of error,
warning, informational and debug messages.
The components within the SDK Core library use a single logger named `ibm-cloud-sdk-core`.

For complete information on the logging facility, please see: [Logging facility for Python](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html).

### Enable logging

There are various ways to configure and enable the logging facility.

The code example below demonstrates a simple way to enable debug logging by invoking
the `logging.basicConfig()` function.

Note that, as a convenience, if you set the logging level to `DEBUG`, then HTTP request/response message logging
is also enabled.

The following code example shows how debug logging can be enabled:
```python
import logging

# Create a basic logging configuration that:
# 1. Defines a handler to display messages on the console.
# 2. Sets the root logger's logging level to DEBUG.
# 3. Sets the 'format' string used to display messages.
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(asctime)s [%(name)s:%(levelname)s] %(message)s', force=True)
```

When running your application, you should see output like this if debug logging is enabled:
