How can the 'basicConfig' for logging be modified when it is already established?

edit

The 'basicConfig' for logging can be modified even after it is already established by using the following steps:

1. Import the logging module:

import logging

1. Get the existing logger instance:

logger = logging.getLogger()

1. Set the new configuration using logger.setLevel() and logger.addHandler(). For example:

logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)

1. The new configuration will be applied to all logging statements made using the logger instance.

Note: It is recommended to modify the basicConfig as early as possible in the application's code to ensure all logging statements are made using the desired configuration.
