Question

I came across fabric modules – Its really cool. It works well for me. Now I have an issue ,how to collect output from fabric script?

# cat fabfile.py
from fabric.api import *
from fabric.contrib.console import confirm

env.hosts = ['localhost' , '172.16.10.112','172.16.10.106']
env.user='testuser'
env.password = 'testuser'
@parallel
def uptime():
    run('uname -a')

I would like to use logging modules with fabric and use them inside the code itself .- Don’t want to use normal redirection like “fab uptime &> log.out “

Answer 1

It looks like fabric itself doesn’t use logging.

Issue#57 is already opened regarding that, but I’m afraid that until it’s fixed you’ll need to stick to redirection or have a look at some of the branches in github with changes to do that:

• tswicegood/fabric
• ampledata/fabric
• pmuller’s streamlogger gist
