# Logging with Accelerate

Accelerate has its own logging utility to handle logging while in a distributed system.
To utilize this replace cases of `logging` with `accelerate.logging`:
```diff
- import logging
+ from accelerate.logging import get_logger
- logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+ logger = get_logger(__name__)
```

## Setting the log level

The log level can be set with the `ACCELERATE_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable or by passing 
`log_level` to `get_logger`:
```python
from accelerate.logging import get_logger

logger = get_logger(__name__, log_level="INFO")
```
