http-logging 1.0.5

Non-blocking HTTP handler for Python `logging` with local SQLite buffer/cache.

Asynchronous HTTP Logging

Non-blocking HTTP handler for Python logging with local SQLite buffer/cache.

Documentation

Please refer to the project Wiki.

Installation

Virtual environment is highly recommended.

pip install http_logging

Basic usage

import logging

from http_logging import HttpHost
from http_logging.handler import AsyncHttpHandler

log_handler = AsyncHttpHandler(http_host=HttpHost(name='your-domain.com'))

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(log_handler)

# Works with simple log messages like:
logger.info('Some useful information...')

# Can also handle extra fields:
logger.warning('You\'ve been warned!', extra={'foo': 'bar'})

# And, of course, captures exception with full stack-trace
try:
    1/0
except Exception as exc:
    logger.error('Ooops!', exc_info=exc)

These log messages are cached in a local SQLite database and periodically delivered (asynchronously, in a separate thread) to your host in a POST request with a body similar to this one:

In your backend, you can funnel these logs to wherever suits you best: database, ElasticSearch index, third-party monitoring service, etc.
