Hi all, I'm trying to develop a system to handle Python logging messages via the logging.handlers.sockethandler system. What I want is a to be able to have multiple Python processes logging to the same log file, as well as a global log file. I want to do this by having a local logging server that handles all of the log messages from all of the Python processes per server. I also want to have a global logging server that handles all logging messages from all processes from all servers. I've written a class that derives from Protocol and does the right thing with the log messages generated by the logging.handler.sockethandler, and I'd like to use this class for both the local and global servers. On the global server machine there will be both services running; the local and global server. So here's where I finally get to my question. I'd like to use my derived Protocol class, but I want each instance of it (in the local server and in the global server) to use a separate logging configuration file. How do I pass information to my Protocol class so that it configures itself for the correct logging configuration file? I don't see how to pass information via the constructor, and I don't see how else to get information in there. I'm fairly new to Twisted, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Doug
