Main features

1. Sends Zope event logs to Graylog instead of a file.

Install

Plone 5.2+ (WSGI)

• Add eea.graylogger to your eggs section in your buildout and re-run buildout

  [instance]
  eggs +=
      eea.graylogger
  
  event-log-handler = eea.graylogger.GELFHandler
  event-log-args = ('logs.example.com', 12201)
  event-log-kwargs = {'level_names': True, 'facility': 'example.com'}
  
  access-log-handler = eea.graylogger.GELFHandler
  access-log-args = ('logs.example.com', 12201)
  access-log-kwargs = {'facility': 'example.com'}

See graypy documentation for more details.

Alternatively, you can skip -log-args and -log-kwargs and use environment variables to define Graylog host:port and facility:

[instance]
eggs +=
    eea.graylogger

event-log-handler = eea.graylogger.GELFHandler
access-log-handler = eea.graylogger.GELFHandler

• GRAYLOG - Graylog host, or host:port (e.g.: GRAYLOG=logs.example.com:12201)

• GRAYLOG_FACILITY - Graylog facility (e.g.: GRAYLOG_FACILITY=example.com)

Plone < 5.2 (non-WSGI)

• Add eea.graylogger to your eggs section in your buildout and re-run buildout. You can download a sample buildout from https://github.com/eea/eea.graylogger/tree/master/buildouts/plone4

  [instance]
  eggs =
      ...
      eea.graylogger
  
  zope-conf-imports =
    eea.graylogger
  
  event-log-custom =
    <graylog>
      server 172.17.0.18:12201
    </graylog>

Getting started

1. Install Graylog server or use Graylog2 Docker image

2. Restart Zope

3. Go to http://localhost:9000 to see your Zope logs

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.

• 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.
