I want to create task-specific log files that reflect what's happening during a particular operation, but I want these logging messages to also go to the primary Django log.
My current solution, which seems to work fine at first glance, is something like:
logger = getLogger("%s:%s" % (__name__, task_id))
handler = FileHandler(task_log_file)
logger.addHandler(handler)
# Work
logger.removeHandler(handler)
As I said, this works, but the main issue that occurs to me is that this logger isn't really temporary -- from what I've read of logging.Manager each logger will just hang around indefinitely until shutdown. In this case, when I'm done I know I won't use the logger again (okay, technically I might, but that will be rare), and assuming the system is stable this could be running through hundreds of thousands of tasks.
Is there a "right" way to do this?
