When Internet connectivity is available (usually via WiFi), data may be logged to the Adafruit IO data service.
See this guide to get started with Adafruit IO:
The following uses a PyPortal (M4 + ESP32) in writing a handler to send log messages to Adafruit IO.
Most of the code is in the constructor to set up the connection to the ESP32 and Adafruit IO. You pass a string to the constructor that is used to create the feed name which is -logging.
Line terminators don't need to be added, so we don't need a format method; we can directly use the inherited one.

You'll need a secrets.py file to hold your WiFi and Adafruit IO credentials. You will also need the required libraries for your board and an Adafruit IO account. See this guide for setting it all up on a PyPortal.
The example code to use the above handler on a PyPortal or M4 Express WiFi:
from aio_handler import AIOHandler
import adafruit_logging as logging
l = logging.getLogger('aio')
l.addHandler(AIOHandler('test'))
l.level = logging.ERROR
l.error("test")
