Adjust logging level for Kafka-python admin client

Question

While creating the KafkaAdminClient

    client = KafkaAdminClient(bootstrap_servers=bootstrap_servers,
                          security_protocol=security_protocol,
                          sasl_mechanism=SASL_MECHANISM,
                          sasl_plain_username=username,
                          sasl_plain_password=password,
                          )

there are a lot of debug and info logs that are generated like:

 kafka.client [DEBUG]- [client_async.py:279 -   _conn_state_change()] - Node bootstrap-0 connected
 kafka.protocol.parser [DEBUG]- [parser.py:59 -         send_request()] - Sending request MetadataRequest_v0(topics=[])

Is there a config that would allow switching off DEBUG and INFO logs and only show WARN or ERROR logs?

Answer 1

It uses the standard logging library and the client side handler is named kafka:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('kafka')
logger.setLevel(logging.WARN)

That should configure the kafka-python library log level.
