fewsats-logger 0.0.2

Python Logger based on BetterStack

Fewsats Logger

A simple Python logging wrapper for Better Stack (Logtail) with automatic environment context.

5-Minute Setup

1. Install package

   pip install fewsats-logger
   

2. Set environment variables (in .env file or environment)

   BETTER_STACK_SOURCE_TOKEN=your_source_token
   BETTER_STACK_HOST=your_source_host
   ENV=dev
   

IMPORTANT: Use dev and prod for ENV values.

Get the host & token by creating a new source at https://telemetry.betterstack.com/

3. Initialize once in your main file

    from fewsats_logger.core import setup_logging
   setup_logging()
   

4. Use standard logging anywhere in your code

   import logging
   logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
   logger.info("Message")
   logger.error("Error", extra={"order_id": "12345"})  # Add filterable fields
   

That's it. Logs will appear in Better Stack dashboard and console.
