# What does this PR do?
This commit introduces a new logging system that allows loggers to be
assigned
a category while retaining the logger name based on the file name. The
log
format includes both the logger name and the category, producing output
like:
```
INFO 2025-03-03 21:44:11,323 llama_stack.distribution.stack:103 [core]: Tool_groups: builtin::websearch served by
tavily-search
```
Key features include:
- Category-based logging: Loggers can be assigned a category (e.g.,
"core", "server") when programming. The logger can be loaded like
this: `logger = get_logger(name=__name__, category="server")`
- Environment variable control: Log levels can be configured
per-category using the
`LLAMA_STACK_LOGGING` environment variable. For example:
`LLAMA_STACK_LOGGING="server=DEBUG;core=debug"` enables DEBUG level for
the "server"
and "core" categories.
- `LLAMA_STACK_LOGGING="all=debug"` sets DEBUG level globally for all
categories and
third-party libraries.
This provides fine-grained control over logging levels while maintaining
a clean and
informative log format.
The formatter uses the rich library which provides nice colors better
stack traces like so:
```
