greendeck-logging 0.1.4

Greendeck logging package

Greendeck-Logging:

![logging]

Install from pip

https://pypi.org/project/greendeck-logging/

pip install greendeck-logging

This library can be used for save the critical log, message, info data for your internal services in elasticsearch and create a nice visualization through kibana. For creating visualization in kibana you can refer this documentation

if you don't have elasticsearch and kibana you can refer this blog

How to use?

import the library

from greendeck_logging import GdLogging
from greendeck_logging import GdLoggingStack

There are Two ways to save the log data, by bulk (GdLoggingStack) and one by one ( GdLogging)

If you want to save the log in memory as stack and send data after process completes, use GdLoggingStack. It saves the log messages in stack and send to elastic search on calling push method.

Variables to connect elasticsearch to store the log data

LOG_ECS_HOST =  < YOUR_LOG_ECS_HOST >
LOG_ECS_INDEX = < LOG_ECS_INDEX >
LOG_ECS_TYPE = < LOG_ECS_TYPE >
service_name = < service_name >

if elasticsearch requires username and password to connect, provide in LOG_ECS_HOST in a standard format like https://username:password@elasticsearch_host:port_no Eg : https://admin:admin123@127.0.0.0:9200/

Some Default Values are :

LOG_ECS_INDEX = gdlogging, LOG_ECS_TYPE = '_doc'

if you want save data in other index name instead of gdlogging , assign LOG_ECS_INDEX = "your index name"

GdLoggingStack : Send the bulk log data to elasticsearch

from greendeck_logging import GdLoggingStack
gdl_stack = GdLoggingStack(LOG_ECS_HOST = LOG_ECS_HOST,
                          service_name = service_name  
                          LOG_ECS_INDEX = "gdlogging",
                          LOG_ECS_TYPE = "_doc",
                          )

**default value: LOG_ECS_INDEX = 'gdlogging', LOG_ECS_TYPE = '_doc',

**LOG_ECS_TYPE and SERVICE_NAME are required field

Methods and their functionality

There are following function for capturing the events

• For capturing Error message and info of the error due to which occur ,
  gdl_stack.error("your message", info = {}, value = 1)
  default, value = 1, info = {} # info can be dictionary

• To save Debug message and send the object as info
  gdl_stack.debug("your debug message", info = {}, value = 1)

• To increament the response status of the services like 200, 404 etc
  gdl_stack.counter_message(message, info = {}, value = 1)
  default, value = 1

• To increment the message for a particular website ( It can be your unique identifier depending on requirement )
  gdl_stack.counter_website(website, message, info = {}, value = 1)
  default, value = 1

• clear the stack
  gdl_stack.clear()

• total element in stack
  gdl_stack.count()

• show the first element in the stack
  gdl_stack.show_one()

• show all elements in the stack
  gdl_stack.show()

• push all elements to elastic search
  gdl_stack.push()

** Don't forget to push the element to elastic search at end of your stack, use gdl_stack.push() for update the data in elastic search

GdLogging : It updates one element at a time

from greendeck_logging import GdLogging
gdl = GdLogging(LOG_ECS_HOST = LOG_ECS_HOST,
                          service_name = service_name  
                          LOG_ECS_INDEX = "gdlogging",
                          LOG_ECS_TYPE = "_doc",
                          )

**default value: LOG_ECS_INDEX = 'gdlogging', LOG_ECS_TYPE = '_doc',

Usage and functionality

There are following function for capturing the events

• For capturing Error message and info due to which occur
  gdl.error("your message", info = {}, value = 1)
  default, value = 1 , info = {}

• For capturign Debug message
  gdl.debug("your message", info = {}, value = 1) default, value = 1

• To increament the response status of the services like 200, 404 etc
  gdl.counter_message(message, info = {}, value = 1)
  default, value = 1

• To increment the message for a particular website ( It can be your unique identifier depending on requirement )
  gdl.counter_website(website, message, info = {}, value = 1)
  default, value = 1
