logdriver 0.1.3

Run a socket server for application logging

logdriver

Run a socket server for application logging. Implemented as a CLI. Receives pickled LogRecord objects over a socket, buffers them, and handles them according to application requirements.

Installation

pip install logdriver

Example

Start logdriver on the command-line using default options. This will start the socket server listening on localhost on port 9079. It will use a StreamLogger to log all the LogRecords it receives to stdout, and set the logging level to WARNING.

$ logdriver
Started logdriver logging socket server
Listening for logs on localhost:9079
Press CTRL+C to quit
Starting TCP server

In your Python application, configure your logger to use a SocketHandler:

import logging
from logging.handlers import SocketHandler
handler = SocketHandler("localhost", 9079)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.addHandler(handler)

logger.warning("Hello, world!")

You should see the log getting printed by the socket server.
