How to list all existing loggers using python.logging module

If you are trying to examine the hierarchy of logging objects, I'd recommend using logging_tree.printout():

import logging_tree

logging_tree.printout()

Or, if you want to have the logging tree accessible to your code:

logging_tree.tree()

See https://pypi.org/project/logging_tree/ for more info.


If you want to include RootLogger in the list as well, do something similar to:

import logging
loggers = [logging.getLogger()]  # get the root logger
loggers = loggers + [logging.getLogger(name) for name in logging.root.manager.loggerDict]

tested on Python 3.7.4


Loggers are held in a hierarchy by a logging.Manager instance. You can interrogate the manager on the root logger for the loggers it knows about.

import logging

loggers = [logging.getLogger(name) for name in logging.root.manager.loggerDict]

Calling getLogger(name) ensures that any placeholder loggers held by loggerDict are fully initialized when they are added to the list.
