# Logging

GQL uses the python logging module.

In order to debug a problem, you can enable logging to see the messages exchanged between the client and the server. To do that, set the loglevel at DEBUG at the beginning of your code:

    import logging
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

## Disabling logs

On the DEBUG log level, the logs for the transports are quite verbose.

It is possible to disable the logs only for a specific gql transport by setting a higher log level for this transport (WARNING for example) so that the other logs of your program are not affected.

For this, you should import the logger from the transport file and set the level on this logger.

For the RequestsHTTPTransport:

    from gql.transport.requests import log as requests_logger
    requests_logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

For the WebsocketsTransport:

    from gql.transport.websockets import log as websockets_logger
    websockets_logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)
