# Logging

馃 Transformers has a centralized logging system, so that you can setup the verbosity of the library easily.

Currently the default verbosity of the library is `WARNING`.

To change the level of verbosity, just use one of the direct setters. For instance, here is how to change the verbosity
to the INFO level.

```python
import transformers

transformers.logging.set_verbosity_info()
```

You can also use the environment variable `TRANSFORMERS_VERBOSITY` to override the default verbosity. You can set it
to one of the following: `debug`, `info`, `warning`, `error`, `critical`. For example:

```bash
TRANSFORMERS_VERBOSITY=error ./myprogram.py
```

Additionally, some `warnings` can be disabled by setting the environment variable
`TRANSFORMERS_NO_ADVISORY_WARNINGS` to a true value, like *1*. This will disable any warning that is logged using
[`logger.warning_advice`]. For example:


```bash
TRANSFORMERS_NO_ADVISORY_WARNINGS=1 ./myprogram.py
```

All the methods of this logging module are documented below, the main ones are
[`logging.get_verbosity`] to get the current level of verbosity in the logger and
[`logging.set_verbosity`] to set the verbosity to the level of your choice. In order (from the least
verbose to the most verbose), those levels (with their corresponding int values in parenthesis) are:

- `transformers.logging.CRITICAL` or `transformers.logging.FATAL` (int value, 50): only report the most
  critical errors.
- `transformers.logging.ERROR` (int value, 40): only report errors.
- `transformers.logging.WARNING` or `transformers.logging.WARN` (int value, 30): only reports error and
  warnings. This the default level used by the library.
- `transformers.logging.INFO` (int value, 20): reports error, warnings and basic information.
- `transformers.logging.DEBUG` (int value, 10): report all information.
