Installation

Using uv (recommended)

uv add cobli-logging-formatter

Using pip

pip install cobli-logging-formatter

Quick Start

Option 1: Use the preconfigured logger

from cobli_logging import get_logger

logger = get_logger()
logger.info("Hello, world!")
logger.error("Something went wrong", extra={"user_id": 123, "action": "login"})

Option 2: Use just the formatter

import logging
from cobli_logging import JsonFormatter

logger = logging.getLogger("my-service")
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(JsonFormatter())
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

logger.info("Hello, world!")

Option 3: Use the configuration helper

from cobli_logging import configure_logging

# Configure with default settings
configure_logging()

# Or with custom settings
configure_logging(
    service_name="my-custom-service",
    log_level="DEBUG",
    propagate=True
)

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger("my-custom-service")
logger.info("Configured logger ready!")

Configuration

The formatter uses the following environment variables:

• DD_SERVICE: Service name for Datadog (optional)
• DD_VERSION: Service version for Datadog (optional)
• LOG_LEVEL: Logging level (default: "INFO")
