Generic logger

Module LogP

Set up a logging-environment for daemons or console-programs Usage:

import logging
from pcs_log.LogP import LogP

.... you have to import this both in all your modules you like to use this logging. But you only need to SetupLogging once.

.... Later within your program call this function: (You can call it more than once to change to another format)

LogP.SetupLogging(  AppName, Verbose, NoDaemon, StdErr, LogPath,
                    LogFileInterval, LogFileCount, Quiet,
                    LogProcInfo, LogProcInfoModLen,
                    LogProcInfoFuncLen, LogLevelType,
                    LogMultiProc, LogMultiProcLen,
                    LogMultiThread, LogMultiThreadLen,
                    LogStackOnDebug, LogStackDepth, LogDebugIp,
                    LogDebugPort, LogDebugCacheSize, NoReset,
                    LogLongLevel, StdErrIsStdOut,
                    TimeOnSyslog, translation)

All arguments are named arguments - NO positional arguments!

Args:

    AppName (str): Name of application

    Verbose (int, optional): Detail of logging. Defaults to 0.
                            0 = ERROR and STATUS
                            1 = MSG, WARNING, STATUS, ERROR

                            On deamons output to StdErr do not make sense, so this is ignored
                            and "syslog" or "logfile" is used.

    StdErr (bool, optional): Log to StdErr. Defaults to False.
                            If this is set the log goes to StdErr.
                            Ignored if we are a daemon.

                                       the length of the longest modulename in your program.
                                       This is only used to allign the log-lines to make the
                                       rading easier. This names are NEVER truncated.

    LogProcInfoFuncLen (int, optional): Length of the 'function' part of the log. Defaults to 15.

    LogLongLevel (str, optional): Log-level below or equal a long info is included.

                                are not within the output.
                                Alternative this can be a comma-separated list of levelnames
                                in this case for this log-levels long infos are provided.
                                Within this list "NONE" is ignored.
                                Defaults to "DEBUG".

                                All other values are interpretet as "NONE".
                                Value is not case-sensitive.

    LogStackDepth (int, optional): Maximum number of call-stack entries to display.
                                   Defaults to 5.

    LogDebugPort (int, optional): If 0 no debug-server is started. Else the value has to be
                                between 1024 and 65535. A log-server is started on 'LogDebugIp'
                                at port 'LogDebugPort'.
                                It is possible to connect to this port (e.g with telnet) to
                                receive ALL log-messages from this program. ALL means really
                                all, no mather which loglevel is set. This output also
                                includes all possible information about process, thread,
                                module and function. The stacktrace ('LogStackOnDebug') is also
                                honored. This output can be really heavy, but can help to debug
                                already running programs without the need to restart with
                                another loglevel.
                                This server runs as a separated process and you have to
                                terminate it by calling the'Stop' and afterward 'Join' or
                                'Kill'-function of the returned 'PortLogServer'-object,
                                otherwise this process may block the termination of your
                                program. This server will restart himselve if it is terminated
                                by any means except you call the above mentioned functions.
                                This port has to be free. Defaults to 0.

    LogDebugIp (str, optional): The IP-address to bind to. This address must exist on the host
                                this program is running. '0.0.0.0' for 'all IPs' is also
                                valid. Only examined if 'LogDebugPort' > 0.
                                Defaults to '127.0.0.1',

    LogDebugCacheSize (int, optional): Only used if 'LogDebugPort' > 0. This is the number of
                                log-messages cached for use at a new connection to the
                                server. So if someone connects to the server he receives the
                                last 'LogDebugCacheSize' log messages and after them all new
                                messages.
                                This is like a history. if set to 0 this function is disabled.
                                Defaults to 100.

    NoReset (bool, optional): Do not reset logger on init. Defaults to False.
                                Use with care. Could tend to mess up the logging.

    transation (dict, optional): If given the programmer can overwrite the error-messages used.
                                There are 2 functions to help creating this dict:
                                    LogP._PrintInitTranslation()
                                    LogP._PrintActualTranslation()
                                they do exactly what their name says: they print either the
                                default value for the translationtable or the actual value after
                                overwriting some or all values with this dict.
                                default = {}

---

After calling this function the new logging is set up. Use the standard functions logger.error, logger.warning, etc and additional you can use logger.msg, logger.status and logger.trace. The severity is in descending order: ERROR, STATUS, WARNING, MSG, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE

---

At the end of your program call:

LogP.Stop()

this will stop the optional logger-process which send the output to a telnet-connection if LogDebugPort is not 0.

    The minimal log entry for StdErr is:
        2022-06-22 07:37:42,494 Errormessage
    The maximal log entry is shown above.

The output format to StdErr is like this:
    2022-06-22 07:37:42,494 MainProcess:MainThread LogP:main:461     - 40=   ERROR - Message
        No "Appname" because you know whitch program is running.
        The timestamp is only written if 'TimeOnSyslog' is True.
        REMEMBER: this is send to StdErr or to StdOut if 'StdErrIsStdOut' is True.

The output format to sylog like this:
    Appname:MainProcess:MainThread LogP:main:461 - 40=   ERROR - Errormessage
        No timestamp because syslogg adds his own timestamp.

The output format to a logfile is like this:
    2022-06-22 07:37:42,494 Appname:MainProcess:MainThread LogP:main:461 - 40=   ERROR - Message

if a call-stack trace is requested lines like these are appended:
        File "./LogP.py", line 471, in <module>
        main()
        File "./LogP.py", line 448, in main
        abc()
