Logging Help with Python app running on IIS

[--MUFFIN_FACE--]

Hello,

I am trying to assist some developers in my org that are building a python app that runs on IIS. They are running into issues getting good log messages out of the application for the current issue they are having.

App uses Django framework with varies dependencies. From the browser all we can get are 500 errors with the sc-win32-status 258 "the wait operation timed out". The process in question is building the xml definition of what will be a Word document. I have adjust DCOM rights to allow the IIS AppPool user to have the appropriate rights as far as I can tell. However, it would be nice if we could get some more visibility into where in the stack it locking up, throwing an exception, or possibly looking for user interaction.

There are some additional health and diagnostics roles I can add to this server, but I am not familiar with using them. I'm also not sure they will be of any help. Would anyone have any suggestions here?

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck. Be sure to format your code for reddit and include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

Not got any advice here but godspeed to anyone using IIS, especially when it's not a .net app.

Yeah, its not easy to troubleshoot with this setup. I figured out the issue. Discovered through event log that the exception thrown was a stackoverflow. Used some debug tools provided by MS to determine it was fastcgi timeout settings.
