Helper for collecting logs to ELK stack via RabbitMQ
Project description
Python library for centralized log collecting
Provides simple configuration for collecting python logs to ELK stack via RabbitMQ.
Supported message flow is following:
python.logging || \/ logcollect || \/ RabbitMQ || \/ Logstash || \/ ElasticSearch || \/ Kibana
Mechanics
Native logging
logcollect.boot.default_config ensures that root logger has correctly configured amqp handler.
Django
logcollect.boot.django_dict_config modifies django.conf.settings.LOGGING to ensure correct amqp handler for root logger. It should be called in settings module after LOGGING definition.
Celery
logcollect.boot.celery_config adds signal handler for worker_process_init signal, and after that adds amqp handler to task_logger base handler. If necessary, root logger can be also attached to amqp handler.
Tips for configuration
Logstash
input {
rabbitmq {
exchange => "logstash"
queue => "logstash"
host => "rabbitmq-host"
type => "amqp"
durable => true
codec => "json"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch { host => localhost }
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
logcollect
All boot helpers have same parameters:
broker_uri - celery-style RabbitMQ connection string, i.e. amqp://guest@localhost//vhost
exchange, routing_key - message routing info for RabbitMQ
durable - message delivery mode
level - handler loglevel
activity_identity - dict with “process type info”
Activity Identity
Assuming we deployed two projects on same host: “github” and “jenkins”. Both have web backends and background workers. Activity identity helps to identify messages from these workers:
Project |
Worker |
Activity identity |
---|---|---|
github |
backend |
{"project": "github", "application": "backend"} |
jenkins |
background |
{"project": "jenkins", "application": "background"} |
loggername could be used for separating different parts of code within a worker. Hostnames and process PIDs are added automatically.
Correlation ID
Not supported yet, but idea is marking log messages about same object with ID information about this object.
Examples
Native python logging
python test_native/native_logging.py
Django
python test_django/manage.py test_log
Celery
First, start worker:
celery worker -A test_celery.app.celery
Then send a task to that worker:
python test_celery/send_task.py
