Usage

The typical usage of this library to output to datadog

from datadog_http_handler import DatadogHttpHandler

logger = DatadogHttpHandler(
    api_key=os.getenv('DATADOG_API_KEY', ''),
    service='test',
    host='your_hostname',
    logger_name='example',
    tags={'env': 'test', 'user': 'Tim the Enchanter'}
).logger

logger.info('Hello World')

Since sending logs to datadog via http can issue in a request failure for a myriad of reasons, it would be good to know if the failure accord. By setting raise_failure=True when creating the DatadogHttpHandler object, an exception will now be thrown if the status code of the response is not 200. See below:

import traceback

from datadog_http_handler import DatadogHttpHandler

logger = DatadogHttpHandler(
    api_key=os.getenv('DATADOG_API_KEY', ''),
    raise_exception=True,
    service='test',
    host='your_hostname',
    logger_name='example',
    tags={'env': 'test', 'user': 'Tim the Enchanter'}
).logger

try:
    logger.info('Hello World')
exceptException as e:
    print(traceback.format_exc())
