Unified structured logging service with Azure App Insights integration

Project description

Service #61: Netrun Unified Logging

Version: 1.1.0 Status: Production Ready - PyPI Package Available Last Updated: December 3, 2025 PyPI: netrun-logging


Overview

Unified structured logging service for the Netrun Service Library. Provides high-performance structured logging with structlog backend, correlation ID tracking, context enrichment, and optional Azure App Insights integration.

Key Features:

  • NEW v1.1.0: Structlog backend for 2-3x faster logging performance
  • NEW v1.1.0: Async logging support (logger.ainfo, logger.aerror, etc.)
  • NEW v1.1.0: Automatic sensitive field sanitization (passwords, API keys, tokens)
  • NEW v1.1.0: OpenTelemetry trace injection for distributed tracing
  • NEW v1.1.0: Enhanced context management with bind_context()
  • Structured JSON logging with ISO 8601 timestamps
  • Thread-safe correlation ID tracking for distributed tracing
  • Application and request context enrichment
  • FastAPI middleware integration
  • Azure App Insights telemetry support (optional)
  • Zero-configuration defaults with extensive customization

Quick Start

Installation

From PyPI (recommended):

pip install netrun-logging

From Source (development):

git clone https://github.com/netrun-services/netrun-logging
cd netrun-logging
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Basic Usage

from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger

# Configure logging (call once at application startup)
configure_logging(
    app_name="my-service",
    environment="production",
    log_level="INFO"
)

# Get logger instance
logger = get_logger(__name__)

# Log messages
logger.info("Application started", extra={"version": "1.0.0"})
logger.error("Operation failed", extra={"error_code": "E001"})

Output (JSON):

{
  "timestamp": "2025-11-24T18:45:32.123456+00:00",
  "level": "INFO",
  "message": "Application started",
  "logger": "my_service",
  "extra": {
    "version": "1.0.0"
  }
}

What's New in v1.1.0

Structlog Backend

v1.1.0 replaces the traditional logging module with structlog for improved performance and flexibility:

from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger

configure_logging(app_name="my-service", environment="production")
logger = get_logger(__name__)

# Structlog's key-value API (recommended)
logger.info("user_login", user_id=12345, ip="192.168.1.1", duration=1.23)

# Traditional message format still works
logger.info("User 12345 logged in from 192.168.1.1")

Performance Benefits:

  • 2-3x faster log processing
  • Lower memory overhead
  • Async logging support

Async Logging Support

All logging methods now have async counterparts:

import asyncio
from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger

configure_logging(app_name="async-service")
logger = get_logger(__name__)

async def process_request():
    await logger.ainfo("async_request_started", request_id=123)

    result = await perform_operation()

    await logger.ainfo("async_request_completed", request_id=123, result=result)

asyncio.run(process_request())

Available Async Methods:

  • logger.ainfo() - Async info logging
  • logger.aerror() - Async error logging
  • logger.awarning() - Async warning logging
  • logger.adebug() - Async debug logging
  • logger.acritical() - Async critical logging

Automatic Sensitive Field Sanitization

Sensitive fields are automatically redacted to prevent credential leaks:

logger.info("api_request",
    user="alice",
    password="secret123",  # Automatically redacted
    api_key="sk-abc123",   # Automatically redacted
    token="bearer xyz"     # Automatically redacted
)

# Output:
# {"event": "api_request", "user": "alice", "password": "[REDACTED]", "api_key": "[REDACTED]", "token": "[REDACTED]"}

Redacted Fields (case-insensitive):

  • password, PASSWORD, Password
  • api_key, apikey, API_KEY
  • secret, SECRET_VALUE
  • token, access_token, refresh_token
  • authorization, auth
  • credential, private_key

OpenTelemetry Trace Injection

When running with OpenTelemetry instrumentation, trace context is automatically added:

from opentelemetry import trace
from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger

configure_logging(app_name="traced-service")
logger = get_logger(__name__)

tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

with tracer.start_as_current_span("process_request"):
    logger.info("processing_request")
    # Automatically includes trace_id and span_id for correlation

# Output:
# {"event": "processing_request", "trace_id": "0af7651916cd43dd8448eb211c80319c", "span_id": "b7ad6b7169203331"}

Enhanced Context Management

New bind_context() function for adding persistent context to all logs:

from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger, bind_context, clear_context

configure_logging(app_name="context-service")
logger = get_logger(__name__)

# Bind context for all subsequent logs
bind_context(user_id="user-12345", tenant_id="acme-corp", session_id="sess-789")

logger.info("user_action")  # Includes user_id, tenant_id, session_id
logger.info("another_action")  # Still includes context

# Clear context when done
clear_context()
logger.info("logged_out")  # No context fields

Correlation ID Tracking

Track requests across distributed services:

from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger, correlation_id_context

configure_logging(app_name="api-gateway")
logger = get_logger(__name__)

# Automatic correlation ID generation
with correlation_id_context() as correlation_id:
    logger.info("Request received", extra={"correlation_id": correlation_id})
    process_request(correlation_id)
    logger.info("Request completed", extra={"correlation_id": correlation_id})

Output:

{"timestamp": "2025-11-24T18:45:32.123456+00:00", "level": "INFO", "message": "Request received", "logger": "api_gateway", "correlation_id": "2da84060-098c-44bb-90a4-4b5ab8836c4d"}
{"timestamp": "2025-11-24T18:45:32.456789+00:00", "level": "INFO", "message": "Request completed", "logger": "api_gateway", "correlation_id": "2da84060-098c-44bb-90a4-4b5ab8836c4d"}

Context Enrichment

Add application metadata to all logs:

from netrun_logging import configure_logging, get_logger, set_context

configure_logging(app_name="user-service")
logger = get_logger(__name__)

# Set context for current request
set_context(
    app_name="user-service",
    environment="production",
    version="2.3.1",
    user_id="user-12345",
    tenant_id="tenant-abc"
)

logger.info("User action logged")

FastAPI Integration

from fastapi import FastAPI
from netrun_logging import configure_logging
from netrun_logging.middleware.fastapi import LoggingMiddleware

app = FastAPI()

# Configure logging
configure_logging(
    app_name="my-api",
    environment="production"
)

# Add middleware
app.add_middleware(LoggingMiddleware)

@app.get("/health")
def health_check():
    return {"status": "healthy"}

Automatic Request Logging:

  • Request ID generation
  • Request method, path, query parameters
  • Response status code and duration
  • Exception tracking

Azure App Insights Integration

from netrun_logging import configure_logging

configure_logging(
    app_name="production-api",
    environment="production",
    azure_insights_connection_string="InstrumentationKey=your-key-here"
)

Telemetry Sent to Azure:

  • Structured logs with custom properties
  • Request telemetry (duration, status)
  • Exception telemetry with stack traces
  • Custom events and metrics
