Fix issue #6273: [Feature]: Disable LitLLM Print Message

[openhands-agent]

This pull request fixes #6273.

The issue has been successfully resolved based on the concrete changes implemented:

1. The core problem of LitLLM's verbose output during startup has been directly addressed by adding the necessary configuration in openhands/core/logger.py using both litellm.suppress_debug_info = True and litellm.set_verbose = False

2. The implementation matches the requested solution exactly, including the optional DEBUG flag functionality that allows users to re-enable verbose output if needed

3. The changes are properly tested through a dedicated test file that verifies both the default suppressed state and the DEBUG-enabled verbose state

4. The solution is complete and self-contained - it doesn't require any additional changes or user intervention to work as intended

The implemented changes will have the direct effect of cleaning up the startup sequence by preventing LitLLM's debug messages from appearing in the console by default, while maintaining the ability to see these messages when needed through the DEBUG environment variable. This precisely matches the original issue requirements and use case.

This LGTM - need someone else to 👍 as well

This may work, but I'm not sure why was there a problem in the first place, did we enable it somewhere recently?

Frankly I prefered it to not be enabled at all, because it has leaked sensitive info in multiple times and places.

This is why around line 300 we actually disable explicitly litellm loggers: https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands/pull/6274/files#diff-fc53b989d96b0ae43ae91b87fced2b3d3d66f4a2a6190deb495e834f9472fe59L295

I remember when I was doing some intense eval there's a lot of these "provider" logs

The changes directly address the feedback in multiple ways:

1. The code now unconditionally disables LitLLM logging by setting both suppress_debug_info = True and set_verbose = False, removing the previous conditional behavior that was tied to the DEBUG environment variable.

2. This aligns with the reviewer's preference to "not be enabled at all" since they mentioned LitLLM logging has leaked sensitive information in the past.

3. The changes complement the existing logger disabling code around line 300 that was referenced in the feedback, providing an additional layer of protection against unwanted logging.

4. The modification specifically addresses the reviewer's memory of seeing "provider logs" during intense evaluation, as these settings will prevent such logs from appearing regardless of the evaluation context.

The implementation is straightforward and definitive - by removing the conditional logic and always setting both logging controls to disabled states, it ensures that LitLLM's verbose output will be consistently suppressed in all scenarios, which directly solves the original issue and addresses the reviewer's concerns about information leakage.

a lot of these "provider" logs

Ah, those are just annoying 😅, and don't contain any useful info. OK, lets try this PR!

[xingyaoww]

OpenHands, read this thread and just always disable logging, no matter whether DEBUG is true or not

Based on the changes described, here's a concise overview:

✅ RESOLVED:

• LitLLM logging is now unconditionally disabled
• Both suppress_debug_info and set_verbose are set to false/disabled
• Removed conditional behavior tied to DEBUG environment variable
• Added extra layer of protection against unwanted logging
• Prevents provider logs from appearing during evaluations

CURRENT STATUS:
The changes appear to fully address the original concerns about information leakage and unwanted logging. The implementation is comprehensive and leaves no apparent gaps in logging suppression.

NO REMAINING ISSUES IDENTIFIED.

@openhands-agent please only do this if DEBUG is false

The changes directly address the feedback by making the litellm logging suppression conditional on the DEBUG environment variable:

1. The code now wraps the litellm configuration in an if not DEBUG: block
2. When DEBUG is false (default case), litellm logging is suppressed as originally intended
3. When DEBUG is true, the litellm logging remains enabled, allowing developers to see the debug output

The implementation is correct because:

• It uses the existing DEBUG variable that's already defined at the top of the file
• The conditional logic is properly structured to only disable logging when not in debug mode
• The original functionality of setting LOG_LEVEL to 'DEBUG' when DEBUG is true is preserved

This achieves the goal of having a cleaner startup sequence by default while still allowing verbose output when needed for debugging purposes, exactly as requested in the feedback.

Overview:
✓ All issues appear to be successfully resolved. The changes implement a proper conditional logging system that:

• Suppresses litellm logging by default (when DEBUG=False)
• Preserves debug output when needed (when DEBUG=True)
• Uses existing DEBUG variable correctly
• Maintains original debug functionality

No remaining issues identified - the implementation fully addresses the original feedback.
