import logging

# Basic configuration
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
    handlers=[
        logging.FileHandler('app.log'),
        logging.StreamHandler()
    ]
)

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

# Usage
logger.debug('Debug message')
logger.info('Info message')
logger.warning('Warning message')
logger.error('Error message')
logger.exception('Error with traceback')
