Logmongo: Log messages to a capped MongoDB collections

Installation

easy_install logmongo

What does it do?

• Gracefully creates capped collections.

• Auto expires oldest records first and solves log rotation.

• Writes complex (dicts and kwargs) log records.

• Logs asynchronously.

• Collects logs locally or remotely or in a central location.

• Allows access to logs via MongoDB queries and APIs.

Why should I use Logmongo instead of just pymongo?

Logmongo subclasses the pymongo Collection object and provides the following additions -

A new Logmongo object will:

• gracefully create a named capped collection

• allow a max size to be specified

write method which:

• logs all passed keywords

• adds current time to record

• adds hostname to record

query method which:

• allows keywords (kwargs) querying example: log.query( tags=’finance’ )

tail method which:

• prints all records that match query until killed

How does it work?

Example:

from logmongo import Logmongo

log = Logmongo()

log.write( message='No required kwargs or fields!' )

entry = {
  'tags':['but','we','like','tags'],
  'level':'info'
}
log.write( entry )
