FastAPI-Logger

FastAPI-Logger is a middleware that provides easy-to-use request and response logging for FastAPI applications. It supports log rotation, custom log directory, and handles sensitive data securely by redacting sensitive headers.

Features

• Logs all incoming requests and outgoing responses.
• Supports log rotation with customizable file size and backup count.
• Handles sensitive data by redacting headers like Authorization.
• Outputs logs in JSON format for easy integration with log management tools.
• Flexible configuration for log directory and file size.

Requirements

• Python 3.12 or higher
• FastAPI framework

Installation

Create and activate a virtual environment and then install FastAPI & fastapi_ndjson_logger:

pip install "fastapi[standard]" fastapi_ndjson_logger

Example

Create a new FastAPI app and add the middleware to it:

import os

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_ndjson_logger import RequestResponseLogging

# Create logs directory if it doesn't exist
os.makedirs("logs/request_response_logs", exist_ok=True)

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(
    RequestResponseLogging,
    og_dir=os.path.join("logs", "request_response_logs"),  # Directory for log files
    max_mbytes=8,  # 8 MB max file size
    backup_count=3,  # Keep up to 3 rotated files
)

# Add routes to the app
@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"}

Run it

uvicorn app.main:app --reload
