I have a Django project setup with Celery and a RotatingFileHandler setting like shown below:
LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'handlers': { 'console':{ 'class':'logging.StreamHandler', 'stream': sys.stdout, }, 'celery': { 'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler', 'filename': '/var/log/celery/celery.log', 'formatter': 'verbose', 'maxBytes': (1024 * 1024 * 10), # 10 mb 'backupCount': 10 }, }, 'formatters': { 'verbose': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s' }, }, 'loggers': { 'sm9.views': { 'handlers':['console'], 'propagate': True, 'level': os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'), }, 'sm9.helpers': { 'handlers':['console'], 'propagate': True, 'level': os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'), }, 'sm9.soap': { 'handlers':['celery'], 'propagate': True, 'level': os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'), }, 'sm9.tasks': { 'handlers':['celery'], 'propagate': True, 'level': os.getenv('CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'), }, 'celery': { 'handlers': ['celery'], 'level': os.getenv('CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'), 'propagate': True }, }, } When celery.log reaches 10mb the system is creating 2 more files: celery.log.1, celery.log.2 . All files are beeing populated simultaneously instead of reaching 10mb and opening a new file. Is this the expected behavior? Celery is running as a daemon with 3 threads. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
