Understanding the contents of wsgi.ini

The file wsgi.ini references the zope.conf file, zope.conf is passed as an argument to the WSGI application defined by the Zope package.

WSGI server configuration.

[server:main]
paste.server_factory = plone.recipe.zope2instance:main
use = egg:plone.recipe.zope2instance#main
listen = 0.0.0.0:8080
threads = 4

WSGI application configuration

[app:zope]
use = egg:Zope#main
zope_conf = /home/thomas/devel/plone/minimal52/parts/instance/etc/zope.conf

Paste Deploy's filters are a powerful concept for non-intrusively glueing middleware/infrastructure components together.

[filter:translogger]
use = egg:Paste#translogger
setup_console_handler = False

[filter:sentry]
use = egg:plone.recipe.zope2instance#sentry
dsn = https://3cfa2cdda6614de9966ce008416cae00@sentry.io/1537247
level = DEBUG
event_level = WARNING
ignorelist = waitress.queue

Applications and filters are combined in pipelines.

[pipeline:main]
pipeline =
    translogger
    egg:Zope#httpexceptions
    sentry
    zope

Following the pipeline section up to the end of the file is the logging configuration. The logging configuration is passed to the standard libraries logging.config module and follows the configuration file format described in the Python documentation. The handler_accesslog and handler_eventlog sections configure the instance access and event log files, respectively.
