Hi,  
So I’m trying to make my Dash app display the logs that my backend displays into console while running into a Dah page. Does anyone know how I could do this? I’m a a bit out of my depth here…

I’m not sure what type of Loggin handler I’m supposed to use… is it a SocketHandler?

There’s a logger on the dash instance, you can do `app.logger.info('message')`

How logging is supposed to work from other modules, ones that main app is importing?
