Production-grade logs interceptor for Python with Loki transport, resilience, batching, and framework integrations.

Project description

elven-logs-interceptor-python

High-performance, production-ready log interceptor for Python with Loki transport, batching, compression, circuit breaker, DLQ, and framework integrations.

Installation

pip install elven-logs-interceptor-python

With all extras:

pip install "elven-logs-interceptor-python[all]"

Quick Start

from logs_interceptor import init, logger

init(
    {
        "appName": "billing-service",
        "interceptConsole": True,
        "transport": {
            "url": "https://loki.example.com/loki/api/v1/push",
            "tenantId": "tenant-a",
            "authToken": "token",
            "compression": "gzip",
        },
    }
)

logger.info("service started", {"port": 3000})

Logging compatibility

The logger accepts both the Elven structured style and common Python logging call patterns. This makes migration safer when legacy code replaces logging.getLogger(__name__) with the Elven proxy.

logger.info("payload created", {"request_id": "req-1"})
logger.info("payload created: %s", payload)
logger.info("payload created: %(id)s", {"id": payload_id})
logger.info("payload created: {}", payload_id)
logger.info("payload created: %s", payload_id, extra={"request_id": "req-1"})
logger.exception("failed to create payload: %s", payload_id)

When intercepting the standard Python logging module, extra={...} is captured under context.extra:

logging.getLogger(__name__).info(
    "payload created",
    extra={"payload": payload},
)

Supported aliases: warning(...), exception(...) and critical(...).

Sensitive fields such as cpf, password, token and authorization are redacted by default. In messages, the library redacts only the sensitive fragment/value and preserves the rest of the log. In structured context, sensitive keys redact the full value. Set LOGS_FILTER_SANITIZE=false, LOGS_SANITIZE=false, or UO_LOGS_SANITIZE=false only when raw sensitive data is explicitly required and approved.

Environment Variables

The package supports the Python LOGS_* configuration surface aligned with the JS v3 design where applicable.

Required for direct Loki mode:

  • LOGS_URL
  • LOGS_TENANT
  • LOGS_APP_NAME

For collector-first mode, set LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp (or collector) and use OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT. If the explicit logs endpoint is missing, the library derives /v1/logs from OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT, or OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT. In this mode LOGS_URL, LOKI_URL, LOGS_TENANT and LOGS_TOKEN are not required by the library. LOGS_URL is intentionally ignored in collector mode to avoid accidentally posting OTLP logs to a direct Loki /loki/api/v1/push endpoint. Put tenant or auth headers in OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS/LOGS_OTLP_HEADERS if your collector gateway requires them.

Core:

  • LOGS_TOKEN
  • LOGS_APP_VERSION
  • LOGS_ENVIRONMENT

Transport:

  • LOGS_EXPORTER (loki|otlp, aliases: collector, otel)
  • OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT (collector logs endpoint, e.g. http://collector:4318/v1/logs)
  • LOGS_OTLP_HEADERS (comma-separated headers, e.g. x-tenant=team-a)
  • LOGS_COMPRESSION (none|gzip|brotli|snappy)
  • LOGS_COMPRESSION_LEVEL
  • LOGS_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD
  • LOGS_USE_WORKERS
  • LOGS_MAX_WORKERS
  • LOGS_WORKER_TIMEOUT
  • LOGS_CONNECTION_POOLING
  • LOGS_MAX_SOCKETS
  • LOGS_ENABLE_STRUCTURED_METADATA (false by default; enable only when Loki allows limits_config.allow_structured_metadata)
  • LOGS_TIMEOUT
  • LOGS_MAX_RETRIES
  • LOGS_RETRY_DELAY

Buffer:

  • LOGS_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE
  • LOGS_BUFFER_FLUSH_INTERVAL
  • LOGS_BUFFER_MAX_MEMORY_MB
  • LOGS_BUFFER_MAX_AGE
  • LOGS_BUFFER_AUTO_FLUSH

Filter:

  • LOGS_FILTER_LEVELS
  • LOGS_FILTER_SAMPLING_RATE
  • LOGS_FILTER_SANITIZE (aliases: LOGS_SANITIZE, UO_LOGS_SANITIZE)
  • LOGS_FILTER_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH
  • LOGS_FILTER_EXCLUDE_LOGGER_PREFIXES (comma-separated)

Circuit Breaker:

  • LOGS_CIRCUIT_BREAKER_ENABLED
  • LOGS_CIRCUIT_BREAKER_FAILURE_THRESHOLD
  • LOGS_CIRCUIT_BREAKER_RESET_TIMEOUT
  • LOGS_CIRCUIT_BREAKER_HALF_OPEN_REQUESTS

DLQ:

  • LOGS_DLQ_ENABLED
  • LOGS_DLQ_TYPE (memory|file)
  • LOGS_DLQ_MAX_SIZE
  • LOGS_DLQ_MAX_RETRIES
  • LOGS_DLQ_BASE_PATH

Runtime:

  • LOGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_FLUSHES
  • LOGS_INTERCEPT_CONSOLE
  • LOGS_PRESERVE_ORIGINAL_CONSOLE
  • LOGS_ENABLE_METRICS
  • LOGS_ENABLE_HEALTH_CHECK
  • LOGS_DEBUG
  • LOGS_SILENT_ERRORS
  • LOGS_ENABLED
  • LOGS_AUTO_INIT
  • LOGS_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_PROTOBUF (optional, enables experimental snappy/protobuf transport path)

Labels:

  • Prefix LOGS_LABEL_* (example: LOGS_LABEL_SERVICE=billing)

Public API

  • init(config)
  • get_logger()
  • is_initialized()
