How to display requests for flask app running under cherrypy using WSGI

[Flask User]

I have a flask app running under cherrypy. In the config I enabled log.screen: True, still I cannot see any request logs or console messages from flask app. When I run the same app using flask run I can see it.

Following is the configuration:

cherrypy.tree.graft(app, "/")
cherrypy.config.update({
        'engine.autoreload_on': True,
        'log.screen': True,
        'server.socket_port': 5000,
        'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0',
    })
cherrypy.engine.start()
cherrypy.engine.block()

If running using flask built-in server can see message like:

127.0.0.1 - - [13/Sep/2016 14:24:42] "POST /auth/api/v1/login HTTP/1.1" 404 -

But when running under cherrypy cannot see any request on flask app:

[13/Sep/2016:14:25:47] ENGINE Started monitor thread 'Autoreloader'.
[13/Sep/2016:14:25:47] ENGINE Started monitor thread '_TimeoutMonitor'.
[13/Sep/2016:14:25:47] ENGINE Serving on http://0.0.0.0:5000
[13/Sep/2016:14:25:47] ENGINE Bus STARTED

Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi there,

WSGI app that are "grafted" cannot benefit from the higher level CherryPy assets. They merely live at the WSGI server level. You should therefore look towards Flask doc to enable those logs or use a WSGI middleware that adds this for you.

This means using werkzeug or wsgilog kind of middleware with flask?

Take a look into: http://blog.joel.mx/posts/cherrypy-as-a-wsgi-server

Specially the `_with_access_log` function, specifically I'm using
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wsgi-request-logger/.

I was thinking that by tweaking cherrypy logger or werkzeug, I don't need to use middleware (one less dependency), but based on all the examples and your response thought it isn't possible without using wsgi middleware.

I achieved it by using wsgi-request-logger (installing it by pip install wsgi-request-logger), the code I used is following.

import cherrypy
from requestlogger import WSGILogger, ApacheFormatter
from logging.handlers import TimedRotatingFileHandler

from api.flask_app import create_app

app = create_app()

handlers = [TimedRotatingFileHandler('logs/access.log', 'd', 7), ]
app_with_log = WSGILogger(app, handlers, ApacheFormatter())
cherrypy.tree.graft(app_with_log, "/")

cherrypy.config.update({
        'engine.autoreload_on': True,
        'log.screen': True,

        'server.socket_port': 8080,

        'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0',
    })
cherrypy.engine.start()
cherrypy.engine.block()
