Silencing outut

[edoardo-c]

Hello,

It seems I am not alone in trying to silence STDOUT output.

The following is an extract of my code:

if success:
    try:
        api_connection.start()
        result = api_request(*args, **kwargs)
        return True, result
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"API request exception:\n{e}")
        return False, None
    finally:
        api_connection.stop()
else:
    logger.error(f"SSH tunnel failed to establish")

When the tunnel fails on api_connection.start() because it is already running, I get an entry in the logs

[ERROR] API request exception:
...

but I also get an output to STDOUT even though default logging is set to INFO and I also attempted to add a specific log level for sshtunnel

logging.getLogger('sshtunnel').setLevel(logging.WARNING)
logging.getLogger("sshtunnel.SSHTunnelForwarder").setLevel(logging.WARNING)

The output to STDOUT

ERROR   | Problem setting SSH Forwarder up: Couldn't open tunnel foo:XX <> bar:XX might be in use or destination not reachable

What can I do for all sshtunnel output to go to logs rather than STDOUT to keep my output informative and clean?

Thanks!
Ed

I've had exactly the same issue. My horrible hack was to just replace create_logger() with a do nothing function which just uses the logger I passed in:

def create_logger(logger=None,
                  loglevel=None,
                  capture_warnings=True,
                  add_paramiko_handler=True):
    assert logger is not None
    return logger

sshtunnel.create_logger = create_logger
