8.6.8. Logging Handler Module

The logging event handler can be used to log the occurrence of an event to the python logging facility. You can log arbitrary events with a configurable log message, loglevel and logger instance. Several tags are available to customize the log message.

The configuration to handle the log messages can be defined in detail with the Advanced Logging.
