Notebook: Option to log Terminal and Notebooks

[Dubrzr]

Hi,

I need to implement Terminal and Notebook logging.

How I see it:

1. Add options in jupyter_notebook_config.py such as:

   • log_terminal: bool (weither we log the terminals)
   • log_notebook: bool (weither we log the notebooks)
   • log_terminal_file: Unicode string (if log_terminal is true, specify where to write logs)
   • log_notebook_file: Unicode string (if log_notebook is true, specify where to write logs)

2. Log messages in "on_message" and "write_message" in https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/notebook/terminal/handlers.py

3. Log messages in "on_message" and "write_message" in https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/blob/master/notebook/services/kernels/handlers.py

I would like to do a Pull/Request for that, could you please tell me if what I suggest is fine.
How can I specify new options for jupyter_notebook_config.py?

Thank you,
Julien

Hi @Dubrzr

Wonderful proposition.

I suggest:

• log_terminal_file: Unicode string (if not empty, specify where to write logs)
• log_notebook_file: Unicode string (if not empty, specify where to write logs)

As well as its command line equivalent:
jupyter notebook --log-terminal-file=/my/path/file --log-notebook-file=/my/path/file2

Hello all !

that would be an awesome feature !

[Dubrzr]

Maybe this could be done with the python logger?

This is also important for me to enable running Jupyter in a locked down environment.

I've just been digging into the handler to see if this was possible, and came across this issue as well as #2251 and associated PR #2252 which were made last year and seem pretty much the same idea.

Any comments from the maintainers on this? I'm also happy to help out!

[Dubrzr]

Any update on this please??

[mpermana]

We'd like to have this too please

If there is a guidance or hint how this can be done, I am willing to do the work

@minrk @takluyver @Carreau : any update please? How can we contribute on this please?

I created a pull request (https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/pull/2252) a couple of years ago with a similar idea. I'm more than happy to update it since I have been maintaining a fork. Having this directly integrated into the codebase would be awesome!
