Log Python Systemd output to log file

I run my python script as a systemd service, it is defined in the following .service file:



[Unit]

Description=MyService

After=multi-user.target



[Service]

Type=idle

ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/username/projects/website_notifier/run_service.py



[Install]

After=multi-user.target


In my run_service.py file I then log output using the logging module:



import logging



logging.basicConfig(filename=settings['log_file_name'], level=logging.INFO)

logging.info("Starting notifier service at " + str(datetime.utcnow()))


The issue is that this information is not being logged to my log file when I run I start my file through systemctl



Now, I know that generally systemd gets output to journalctl, I don't want this. I want to be able to access this log through another script that does not run with administrator priviliges.



How can I make this happen?

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

When I open a file, I get the: OpenPyxl -> UserWarning: Data Validation extension is not supported and will be removed That is not really a problem bcs. program works and I can't change the .xlsm file to fix that.

Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
