Hi all 👋 I am currently working on deploying Meltano in production and therefore reducing print to stdout only to warning or error messages. According to documentation that should be possible through setting

--log-level=warning

or setting environment variables. I have tried both methods, but each time info messages get printed, e.g.:

pipenv run meltano --log-level=warning elt tap-bing-ads target-jsonl --job_id="test-bing"
meltano      | No state was found, complete import.
tap-bing-ads | INFO Syncing reports
tap-bing-ads | INFO Creating SOAP client with OAuth refresh credentials for service: ReportingService 
(...)

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I haven't dove into this specifically, but my hunch is that --log-level sets the log-level for Meltano not necessarily the logs for the taps/targets. https://gitlab.com/meltano/sdk/-/issues/170 Touches on some of this. For bing the logging.conf is stored here https://github.com/singer-io/singer-python/blob/master/singer/logging.conf There's some dirty solutions, I"m guessing others know better solutions. I'm still learning about logging and python

Hi Derek, thank you so mu much for your reply! That makes sense and is what I suspected - I will look into possible solutions, thank you!

https://meltano.com/plugins/loaders/postgres.html#logging-level is how postgres handles this.

Thank you! I have quite a few taps including some custom ones, so either way that’s really useful example, thank you!
