a8logging 1.0.6

A utility for logging events in Python projects

python-logging

The a8logging function is a utility for logging events in Python projects. It provides a consistent and flexible way to log successes, errors, and other events, and supports multiple output options such as logging to a file or pushing the logs to Elasticsearch.

Features

• Logs events with the following fields: message, function name, project name, version, and status (success or error).
• Optionally logs error tracebacks in case of errors.
• Supports logging to a file, with the option to specify the file name and log rotation settings.
• Supports logging to Elasticsearch, with the option to specify the Elasticsearch host and port, and other connection settings.
• Provides a generalized function that can be easily integrated into any Python project.

Installation

To install the log_event function, you will need to install the following dependencies:

• logging: A built-in Python library for logging events.
• traceback: A built-in Python library for printing stack traces in case of errors.
• uuid: A built-in Python library for generating unique IDs.
• elasticsearch: A third-party library for pushing logs to Elasticsearch.
• You can install these dependencies by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To use the log_event function, you will need to import it into your Python code and call it with the appropriate arguments. Here is an example of how to log a success event:

from a8logging import a8logging

a8logging('success', "Test message", function_name='test_function', project_name='test_project', version='1.0.0')

This will log a success event with the message 'Test message', the function name 'test_function', the project name 'test_project', and the version '1.0.0'. To log an error event, you can pass the error argument with an Exception object:

from a8logging import a8logging

try:
    # Some code that may throw an exception
    raise Exception('Test error')
except Exception as e:
    a8logging('error', "Test error", function_name='test_function', error=e, project_name='test_project', version='1.0.0')

This will log an error event with the message 'Test error', the function name 'test_function', the project name 'test_project', and the version '1.0.0'. The error traceback will also be logged.

To log to a file, you can pass the save_to_file argument with a value of True and the file_name argument with the desired file name:

from a8logging import a8logging

a8logging('success', "Test message", function_name='test_function', project_name='test_project', version='1.0.0', save_to_file=True, file_name='test.txt')

This will log the event to the file 'test.txt'.
