  • Performance tracking and timing
  • Error logging with stack traces
  • Report section logging
  • Complete session logging workflow
  • Log file creation verification

Features Added

1. Structured Logging

  • All log entries include timestamps and component labels
  • Context information provides detailed insights
  • JSON-formatted context for easy parsing

2. Multiple Log Files

logs/
├── tradingagents.log       # All logs (DEBUG+)
├── api_calls.log           # API call tracking
├── memory.log              # Memory operations
├── agents.log              # Agent activities
├── errors.log              # Errors only
└── performance.log         # Performance metrics

3. Performance Tracking

  • Operation timing measurement
  • Statistical analysis (min, max, avg)
  • Performance summaries
  • Bottleneck identification

4. API Monitoring

  • Track all API calls
  • Monitor token usage
  • Calculate costs
  • Track success/failure rates

5. Enhanced Debugging

  • Full stack traces for errors
  • Agent state transitions
  • Tool call history
  • Report generation tracking

Log Examples

User Selection Logging

2025-01-15 10:30:05 | INFO | CLI | User selections received
  Context: {
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "date": "2024-01-15",
    "analysts": ["market", "social", "news"],
    "research_depth": 3,
    "llm_provider": "openai"
  }

Agent Status Update

2025-01-15 10:30:10 | INFO | BUFFER | Agent status updated: Market Analyst -> in_progress
  Context: {
    "agent": "Market Analyst",
    "old_status": "pending",
    "new_status": "in_progress"
  }

Tool Call Tracking

2025-01-15 10:30:15 | INFO | BUFFER | Tool call registered: get_stock_data
  Context: {
    "tool": "get_stock_data",
    "args": {"ticker": "AAPL", "period": "1mo"},
    "timestamp": "10:30:15"
  }

Performance Metrics

2025-01-15 10:45:30 | INFO | CLI | Analysis completed successfully
  Context: {
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "date": "2024-01-15",
    "duration_ms": 903421.5,
    "chunks_processed": 47
  }

Benefits

1. Better Debugging

  • Structured logs make issue tracking easier
  • Full context available for each operation
  • Stack traces for all exceptions

2. Performance Monitoring

  • Identify slow operations
  • Track improvements over time
  • Statistical analysis of performance

3. Audit Trail

  • Complete record of all operations
  • Track user actions and system responses
  • Compliance-ready logging

4. Cost Tracking

  • Monitor API usage
  • Calculate costs per session
  • Optimize expensive operations

5. Production Ready

  • Automatic log rotation
  • Multiple log levels
  • Error isolation in separate files

Testing

Run the test script to verify logging integration:

python3 test_cli_logging.py

Expected output:

  • All tests pass ✓
  • Log files created in logs/ directory
  • Structured output in console
  • Context information properly formatted

Backward Compatibility

The changes maintain backward compatibility:

  • Legacy message_tool.log files still created per session
  • Existing functionality unchanged
  • New logging is additive, not replacing existing behavior

Configuration

Change Log Level

configure_logging(level="DEBUG", console=True)

Disable Console Output

configure_logging(level="INFO", console=False)

Custom Log Directory

configure_logging(level="INFO", log_dir="custom/path")

Next Steps

Recommended Actions

  1. Review generated log files in logs/ directory
  2. Run a full analysis session to see logs in action
  3. Monitor errors.log for any issues
  4. Review performance.log for optimization opportunities

Future Enhancements

  • Add log aggregation support (ELK stack)
  • Implement real-time log streaming dashboard
  • Add metrics export for monitoring tools (Prometheus)
  • Implement distributed tracing for multi-agent workflows
  • Add log filtering and search UI
  • Compress archived logs automatically

Summary

The CLI now uses a comprehensive logging system that provides structured, contextual logging throughout the trading analysis workflow. This makes the system more maintainable, debuggable, and production-ready while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing functionality.

All logging is centralized through the tradingagents.utils.logging_config module, ensuring consistency across the application. The system automatically handles log rotation, separates errors into dedicated files, and tracks performance metrics for optimization.
