Structured JSON logging for OpenTelemetry and New Relic

Title:
otel-logger: Structured JSON Logging for OpenTelemetry and New Relic

Summary:
otel-logger is a lightweight Python logging package that outputs structured JSON logs compatible with OpenTelemetry and New Relic observability platforms. It simplifies logging by providing a consistent schema for service name, environment, and custom fields, making it ideal for distributed systems and cloud-native applications.

Features:

• ✅ Structured JSON logs for easy ingestion by observability tools.
• ✅ Supports custom fields via extra parameter.
• ✅ Configurable service.name, log level, and file path.
• ✅ Default metadata: team, sink, vsn for uniform logging.
• ✅ Simple integration with Python’s built-in logging module.

Example Usage:

import logging
from otel_logger import get_otel_logger

logger = get_otel_logger(
    log_file="/app/logs/otel.log",
    service_name="Cloud Billing",
    level=logging.INFO
)

logger.info("Billing process started", extra={"extra_fields": {"request_id": "12345"}})

Output:

{
  "timestamp": "2025-11-25T11:30:00Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "message": "Billing process started",
  "service.name": "Cloud Billing",
  "team": "sse",
  "sink": "newrelic",
  "vsn": "v1.0.0",
  "request_id": "12345"
}

Installation:

pip install otel-logger
