Schema on read based logging

amox

Amox (from the Nahuatl amoxtli: book, codex, written record) is a zero-dependency Python logging library to produce records on schema-on-read formats.

Adheres to standard log serialization formats, including logfmt and json, with a single configuration line to rule a system.

Mental model

A service runs programmatically, emitting records for domain-specific events. Producing messages in a human-readable format for real-time inspection is necessary, yet these have to be processable subsequently.

Produce logs semi-structured on a open stream. Let third parties do the parsing, processing or any downstream action.

Usage

Initialize once

Single call, every log record will obey the configured format.

On application's entrypoint:

import amox

import package


amox.setup(name=package.__name__)  # `package` as application's name

Standard logging.getLogger() works transparently: all records are emitted on the configured format.

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

[!NOTE] amox provides an analog to logging's getLogger with amox.get_logger. However, usage of this function is not mandatory, it can be used interchangeably as preferred.

Line by line

Configuration is individually possible at the logger level, yet format consistency across all log emissions cannot be guaranteed by amox.

As follows

import amox

logger = amox.get_logger(__name__)
