How to disable discord.py logger?

So I've tried to add some logger to my discord bot, to see logs in file not just in console, cause obviously it's irritating when I reset app and find out that I have to check logs that I've already destroyed, I set it up like this:

logging.basicConfig(filename='CoronaLog.log', level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(message)s')

And learned the hard way that discord.py library has its own logger installed so now my logs look like one big mess, is there any way to disable discord.py's logging, or at least output it to another file?

EDIT: I've tried creating two loggers, so it would look like this:

logging.basicConfig(filename='discord.log', level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(message)s')

nonDiscordLog = logging.getLogger('discord')
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='CoronaLog.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(levelname)s %(asctime)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
nonDiscordLog.addHandler(handler)

So the discord log, would be logged as the basic config says to discord.log file and, when executed like this:

nonDiscordLog.info("execution took %s seconds \n" % (time.time() - startTime))

would log into CoronaLog.log file, although it didn't really change anything

discord.py is in this regard terribly unintuitive for everyone but beginners, anyway after confronting the docs you can find out that this behavior can be avoided with:

import discord

client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all())

# Your regular code here

client.run(__YOURTOKEN__, log_handler=None)

Of course, you can supplement your own logger instead of None but to answer your question exactly, this is how you can disable discord.py's logging.

There's actually a bit more that you can do with the default logging, and you can read all about it on the official docs
