2. Restart Zope

Configuration parameters

• rabbit - True if you want to use GELFRabbitHandler instead of GELFHandler. See graypy documentation for more details.

GELFHandler

• server - the host[:port] of the graylog server.

• chunk_size - message chunk size. messages larger than this size will be sent to graylog in multiple chunks (default 1420).

• debugging_fields - send debug fields if true (the default).

• extra_fields - send extra fields on the log record to graylog if true (the default).

• fqdn - use fully qualified domain name of localhost as source host (socket.getfqdn()).

• localname - use specified hostname as source host.

• facility - replace facility with specified value. if specified, record.name will be passed as logger parameter.

GELFRabbitHandler

• server - RabbitMQ URL (ex: amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2F).

• exchange - RabbitMQ exchange. Default ‘logging.gelf’. A queue binding must be defined on the server to prevent log messages from being dropped.

• debugging_fields - send debug fields if true (the default).

• extra_fields - send extra fields on the log record to graylog if true (the default).

• fqdn - use fully qualified domain name of localhost as source host - socket.getfqdn().

• exchange_type - RabbitMQ exchange type (default fanout).

• localname - use specified hostname as source host.

• facility - replace facility with specified value. if specified, record.name will be passed as logger parameter.
