title: How to dynamically change logging level of python app in Google App Engine?
body: <p>If I have a python app running in Google App Engine, how can I dynamically change the app's logging level during runtime?  The app's logging level is currently done via a logging config file.  </p>
  
  <p>One brute force way is to update the logging config file locally, and run 'appcfg.py -R update path_to_product'.  But this will update all modified files.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>I looked at dictConfig and fileConfig.  But using these methods would not update the logging configuration of running processes (especially those running on different app engine instances).</p>
