django-log-formatter-asim 0.0.4

Formats Django logs in ASIM format.

Django ASIM log formatter

The library formats Django logs in ASIM format.

Mapping to the format may not be complete, but best effort has been made to create logical field mappings.

If you need to amend the mapping, you can implement a custom formatter.

Installation

pip install django-log-formatter-asim

Usage

Using in a Django logging configuration:

from django_log_formatter_asim import ASIMFormatter

LOGGING = {
    ...
    "formatters": {
        "asim_formatter": {
            "()": ASIMFormatter,
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'asim': {
            'formatter': 'asim_formatter',
            ...
        },
    },
    "loggers": {
        "django": {
            "handlers": ["asim"],
            ...
        },
    },
}

Dependencies

This package uses Django IPware for IP address capture.

This package is compatible with Django User Agents which, when used, will enhance logged user agent information.

Settings

DLFA_LOG_PERSONALLY_IDENTIFIABLE_INFORMATION - the formatter checks this setting to see if personally identifiable information should be logged. If this is not set to true, only the user's id is logged.

DLFA_TRACE_HEADERS - used for defining custom zipkin headers, the defaults is ("X-Amzn-Trace-Id"), but for applications hosted in GOV.UK PaaS you should use ("X-B3-TraceId", "X-B3-SpanId"). If you are running your application in both places side by side during migration, the following should work in your Django settings:

DLFA_INCLUDE_RAW_LOG - By default the original unformatted log is not included in the ASIM formatted log. You can enable that by setting this to True and it will be included in AddidtionalFields.RawLog.

from dbt_copilot_python.utility import is_copilot

if is_copilot():
   DLFA_TRACE_HEADERS = ("X-B3-TraceId", "X-B3-SpanId")

Formatter classes

    ASIM_FORMATTERS = {
        "root": ASIMSystemFormatter,
        "django.request": ASIMRequestFormatter,
    }

The default class for other loggers is:

    ASIMSystemFormatter

Creating a custom formatter

If you wish to create your own ASIM formatter, you can inherit from ASIMSystemFormatter and call _get_event_base to get the base level logging data for use in augmentation:

    class ASIMSystemFormatter(ASIMFormatterBase):
        def get_event(self):
            logger_event = self._get_event_base()

            # Customise logger event

            return logger_event
