Introduction

APV emerged from a simple observation: despite the abundance of logging solutions, there's a glaring lack of standardization in application logging. APV is my response to this challenge – a logging library that doesn't aim to revolutionize the field, but rather to streamline it.

Requirements

• Python 3

Installation

From PyPI

pip install apv

From Source

git clone https://github.com/acidvegas/apv
cd apv
pip install .

Features

• Console Logging with Colors: Enhanced readability with colored log messages in the console.
• File Logging: Write logs to files with support for log rotation based on size and number of backups.
• Log Compression: Automatically compress old log files using gzip to save disk space.
• JSON Logging: Output logs in JSON format for better structure and integration with log management systems.
• Syslog Capabilities: Out logs (optionally in JSON) to the machines syslog.
• Detailed Log Messages: Option to include module name, function name, and line number in log messages.

Configuration Options

The setup_logging function accepts the following keyword arguments to customize logging behavior:

Usage

Basic Console Logging

import logging
import apv

# Set up basic console logging
apv.setup_logging(level='INFO')

logging.info('This is an info message.')
logging.error('This is an error message.')

Console Logging with Details

import logging
import apv

# Set up console logging with detailed information
apv.setup_logging(level='DEBUG', show_details=True)

logging.debug('Debug message with details.')

File Logging with Rotation

import logging
import apv

# Set up file logging with log rotation
apv.setup_logging(
    level='INFO',
    log_to_disk=True,
    max_log_size=10*1024*1024,  # 10 MB
    max_backups=5,
    log_file_name='application_log'
)

logging.info('This message will be logged to a file.')

File Logging with Compression and JSON Format

import logging
import apv

# Set up file logging with compression and JSON format
apv.setup_logging(
    level='DEBUG',
    log_to_disk=True,
    max_log_size=5*1024*1024,  # 5 MB
    max_backups=7,
    log_file_name='json_log',
    json_log=True,
    compress_backups=True
)

logging.debug('This is a debug message in JSON format.')

Syslog Logging

import logging
import apv

# Set up syslog logging
apv.setup_logging(level='INFO', syslog=True)

logging.info('This message will be sent to syslog.')
logging.error('Error messages are also sent to syslog.')

Syslog Logging with JSON Format

import logging
import apv

# Set up syslog logging with JSON format
apv.setup_logging(level='DEBUG', syslog=True, json_log=True)

logging.debug('This debug message will be sent to syslog in JSON format.')
logging.info('Info messages are also sent as JSON to syslog.')

Syslog Logging with Details

import logging
import apv

# Set up syslog logging with detailed information
apv.setup_logging(level='DEBUG', syslog=True, show_details=True)

logging.debug('This debug message will include module, function, and line details in syslog.')

Mixing it all together

import logging
import apv

# Set up logging to all handlers
apv.setup_logging(
    level='DEBUG',
    log_to_disk=True,
    max_log_size=10*1024*1024,
    max_backups=7,
    log_file_name='app',
    json_log=True,
    compress_backups=True,
    show_details=True,
    syslog=True
)
