gelfHandler 1.0.0

Log handler that ships in gelf format

gelfHandler is a basic logging handler for sending to a graylog2 instance via UDP or TCP

Basic usage

Usage is pretty much like any handler:

from gelfHandler import GelfHandler
gHandler = GelfHandler(
    host='mylogserver.example.com',
    port=12202,
    protocol='UDP'
)
logger.addHandler(gHandler)

Support for additional fields is available if you send a dict using the extra keyword that begins with gelfProps:

logger.warn('DANGER DANGER',extra={'gelf_props':{'name':'W. Robinsson', 'planet':'unknown'}})
