Logging

KA Lite application logs are stored in ~/.kalite/logs/. When going to daemon mode using kalite start, all outputs are additionally stored in ~/.kalite/server.log, which may contain more crash information for the last running instance.

In Python, please always log to logging.getLogger(__name__)! Fore more information on how logging is setup, refer to kalite.settings.base.LOGGING.

If you wish to view output from the server, you have a few options:

  • Start the server with kalite start --foreground. This will start the server using CherryPy and a single thread, with output going to your terminal.
  • Start the server in development mode kalite manage runserver --settings=kalite.project.settings.dev (this doesn’t start the job scheduler).
