The process for utilizing logging in conjunction with Python's fileConfig and setting the filename for the logfile involves the following steps:

  1. First, you need to import the logging module and load the logging configuration from a file using the fileConfig method.
import logging.config

logging.config.fileConfig('logging_config.ini')
  1. Next, you need to define a logger object in your Python code.
logger = logging.getLogger('my_logger')
  1. Finally, you can use the logger to write log messages to a file by specifying the filename in the logging configuration file.

For example, if you have the following logging configuration file called logging_config.ini:

[loggers]
keys=root

[handlers]
keys=consoleHandler,fileHandler

[formatters]
keys=sampleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler,fileHandler

[handler_consoleHandler]
class=StreamHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=sampleFormatter
args=(sys.stdout,)

[handler_fileHandler]
class=FileHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=sampleFormatter
args=('example.log',)

[formatter_sampleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
datefmt=%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

You can set the filename for the logfile to example.log by specifying it in the args parameter of the handler_fileHandler section.

Then, you can use the logger object to write log messages to the file:

logger.debug('Debug message')
logger.info('Info message')
logger.warning('Warning message')
logger.error('Error message')
logger.critical('Critical message')
