Log handler that ships json formatted messages to logstash via TCP and UDP
Project description
logstashHandler is a basic logging handler for sending to a logstash instance via UDP or TCP encoded as json.
Basic usage
Setup an input on the relevant logstash server:
input { udp { port => 12345 codec => json } }
Setup handler and ship logs:
python from logstashHandler import logstashHandler lhandler = logstashHandler(host='mylogserver.example.com',port=12345,proto='UDP') logger.addHandler(lhandler) logger.warn("Something went wrong")
To send additional fields to logstash, use the keyword extra and send a dict starting with extraFields:
logger.warn('DANGER DANGER',extra={'extraFields':{'name':'W. Robinsson', 'planet':'Unkown'}})
The default level field name and individual level names can be overridden as so:
levels = {'ERROR': 3, 'WARNING': 2, 'INFO': 1, 'DEBUG': 0} lhandler = logstashHandler( host='mylogserver.example.com', port=12345,proto='UDP', levels=levels, levelLabel='severity' )
More info can be found on the github page.
