How can I remove extra data from Python logging file?

Question

I have a Python script, which sends requests to our API using Requests module, then recieve the ansver, parse it and says that's everything is ok or not. The result displays with 'print'. Here is simple example:

for i in response:
    if i in response_keys:
        print('[Request_name] '+i+' is ok')
    else:
        print('[Request_name] Extra key ' +i+' in resronse)

Now I need to log these prints ti file. When I use Logging module like this:

#Example without sending a request, just logging configuration and check
import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename='Autotests_log.log', level=logging.INFO, format='%(asctime)s %(message)s' )


for i in response:
    if i in response_keys:
        logging.info('[Request_name] '+i+' is ok')
    else:
        logging.info('[Request_name] '+i+' is not ok')

I see this in the log file:

2016-04-20 14:24:44,823 Starting new HTTP connection (1): 192.168.1.44
2016-04-20 14:24:44,873 [Request_name] success is ok
2016-04-20 14:24:44,874 [Request_name] statusCode is ok
2016-04-20 14:24:44,874 [Request_name] data is ok
2016-04-20 14:24:44,876 Starting new HTTP connection (1): 192.168.1.44
2016-04-20 14:24:44,924 Starting new HTTP connection (1): 192.168.1.44
2016-04-20 14:24:44,974 Starting new HTTP connection (1): 192.168.1.44
2016-04-20 14:24:45,017 Starting new HTTP connection (1): 192.168.1.44

What should I do to see just this in log:

2016-04-20 14:24:44,873 [Request_name] success is ok
2016-04-20 14:24:44,874 [Request_name] statusCode is ok
2016-04-20 14:24:44,874 [Request_name] data is ok

You can set individual logging thresholds for file and console logging. Then set the log-level for your messages. See this link for detailed info: docs.python.org/2/howto/… — Schore

you could add log level to your initial format to see what you want to exclude — user3610360

Try to configure requests logging level

import logging
logging.getLogger("requests").setLevel(logging.WARNING)

It works! Thank you very much! This code sets logging lever for the request module? For examole, I can use any other module in brackets?
