Logging error in receiver

Receiver start command can take a logging file in parameter. If provided this file will be used to configure the logger of the module.

For example, here is a simple log file :

[loggers]
keys=root,simpleExample

[handlers]
keys=consoleHandler

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler

[logger_simpleExample]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler
qualname=simpleExample
propagate=0

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

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
datefmt=

As you can see this is standard python logging configuration file.

Receiver is configured to log an error in case of exception and keyboard interruption. Using a custom logger can allow you to have quick informations in case of failure and will be very helpful in case of receiver crash.
