I'm using Paramiko in Python to run command on a box through SSH. How to use Paramiko logging? I mean force it to make logs (in a file or terminal) and set the log level.

Paramiko names its loggers, so simply:

import logging
import paramiko

logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger("paramiko").setLevel(logging.WARNING) # for example

See the logging cookbook for some more examples.

You can also use log_to_file from paramiko.util to log directly to a file.
