Answer 1

The pre_request hook wasn't working for me. I used the answer from https://stackoverflow.com/a/52455408/2339067 to create the following gunicorn.conf.py file:

import logging
from gunicorn import glogging


class CustomGunicornLogger(glogging.Logger):

    def setup(self, cfg):
        super().setup(cfg)

        # Add filters to Gunicorn logger
        logger = logging.getLogger("gunicorn.access")
        logger.addFilter(HealthCheckFilter())

class HealthCheckFilter(logging.Filter):
    def filter(self, record):
        return 'GET /healthcheck' not in record.getMessage()

accesslog = '-'
logger_class = CustomGunicornLogger

I figured it out - you need to override the pre_request hook.

This can be done as follows:

You need to create a config file, e.g. config/gunicorn.py:

def pre_request(worker, req):
    if req.path == '/healthcheck':
        return
    worker.log.debug("%s %s" % (req.method, req.path))

And then use it when you start gunicorn: gunicorn server:app -c config/gunicorn.py
