logflex 0.1.3

LogFlex, a robust and flexible logging extension for Python, enhances the standard logging module by providing streamlined configuration via environmental variables and TOML files. This library supports comprehensive log management with features like dynamic log levels, multiple output handlers (console, file, and Syslog), and automatic log rotation. Ideal for developers looking to implement advanced logging practices easily in any Python application.

LogFlex

LogFlex is a flexible and powerful logging extension for Python applications, enhancing the built-in logging capabilities with advanced configuration options and support for multiple output handlers.

Features

• Customizable Log Levels: Set different log levels for different output handlers.
• File and Console Logging: Easily log to files and the console with simple configuration.
• Syslog Integration: Send logs to a Syslog server for centralized logging.
• Colorized Output: Make console output more readable with customizable colorization.
• Automatic File Rotation: Rotate log files based on time or size automatically.

Installation

Install LogFlex using pip:

pip install logflex

Configuration

LogFlex uses a combination of a TOML configuration file and environment variables to customize its behavior. Here is how you can set up your logging:

Config File (config.toml)

Create a config.toml in your project root or specify its path during logger initialization. Here's an example configuration:

[general]
log_level = "DEBUG"
verbose = false
trace = false

[general.color_settings]
enable_color = true
datefmt = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
reset = true
log_colors.DEBUG = "cyan"
log_colors.INFO = "green"
log_colors.WARNING = "yellow"
log_colors.ERROR = "red"
log_colors.CRITICAL = "red,bg_white"
style = "%"

[file_handler]
logdir = "./logs"
logfile = "app.log"
dedicate_error_logfile = true

[syslog_handler]
use_syslog = true
syslog_address = "localhost"
syslog_port = 514 # UDP Port
syslog_facility = 'LOG_USER'

Environment Variables

You can also configure LogFlex using environment variables, which override the settings from config.toml. Here are some of the variables you can set:

GENERAL_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
GENERAL_VERBOSE=false
GENERAL_TRACE=false
FILEHANDLER_LOGDIR=/var/log/myapp
FILEHANDLER_LOGFILE=app.log
SYSLOGHANDLER_USE_SYSLOG=true
SYSLOGHANDLER_SYSLOG_ADDRESS=localhost
SYSLOGHANDLER_SYSLOG_PORT=514
COLOR_ENABLE_COLOR=true
COLOR_DATEFMT="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
COLOR_RESET=true
COLOR_LOG_COLORS_DEBUG="cyan"
COLOR_LOG_COLORS_INFO="green"
COLOR_LOG_COLORS_WARNING="yellow"
COLOR_LOG_COLORS_ERROR="red"
COLOR_LOG_COLORS_CRITICAL="red,bg_white"
COLOR_STYLE="%"
FILEHANDLER_LOGDIR="./logs"
FILEHANDLER_LOGFILE="app.log"
FILEHANDLER_WHEN='midnight'
FILEHANDLER_INTERVAL=7
FILEHANDLER_BACKUP_COUNT=7
FILEHANDLER_DEDICATE_ERROR_LOGFILE=true
SYSLOGHANDLER_USE_SYSLOG=true
SYSLOGHANDLER_SYSLOG_ADDRESS='localhost'
SYSLOGHANDLER_SYSLOG_PORT=514
SYSLOGHANDLER_SYSLOG_FACILITY='LOG_USER'

Usage

Basic Setup

from logflex import CustomLogger

# Initialize logger with default settings
logger = CustomLogger('exampleModule', loglevel='INFO')

# Write logs
logger.info("This is an info message")
logger.error("This is an error message")

Using Stream Handler

from logflex import CustomLogger

# Initialize logger for console output with debug level
logger = CustomLogger('exampleModule', loglevel='DEBUG', verbose=True, trace=False, color_enable=True)

# Console output
logger.debug("This message will appear in the console.")

Using File Handler

from logflex import CustomLogger

# Initialize logger with file output
logger = CustomLogger('exampleModule', loglevel='WARNING', file_logdir='./log', file_logfile='app.log',
                      file_when='midnight', file_interval=7, file_backup_count=7, file_dedicate_error_logfile=False)

logger.warning("This message will be logged to a file.")

Using Syslog Handler

from logflex import CustomLogger

# Initialize logger with Syslog handler
logger = CustomLogger('exampleModule', loglevel='CRITICAL', use_syslog=True, syslog_address='localhost', syslog_port=514,
                      syslog_facility='LOG_LOCAL0')


# Syslog output
logger.critical("This critical message will be sent to the configured Syslog server.")
