easy-logger

Simple Easy baseline Logger. Creates a color stream logger or a basic rotating logger that can be used and called on throughout a project.

Usage

Configuration Values:

• name: Name of file can use built in __name__ or specifiy a name to call the logger instance.
• logName: filename for log.
• logDir: Directory location to store log.
  • Can use built in utilitiy to find the default log location for the system you are on.
• level: Log Level. Can be one of the following Strings.
  • NOTSET = 0
  • DEBUG = 10
  • INFO = 20
  • WARN = 30
  • WARNING = 30
  • ERROR = 40
  • CRITICAL = 50
  • FATAL = 50
• setFile: Bool Value to set the logger to write out to file.
• stream: Bool Value to allow conosole output of log.
• maxBytes: Maximum Byte size before rotating log file.
• backupCount: Amount of backups to keep.
• setLog: Enables or creates the logging instance otherwise will not log anything.

import easy_logger
from easy_logger.utils import set_logdir

logger = easy_logger.RotatingLog(__name__,
                                 logName="sample.log",
                                 logDir=set_logdir("default"),
                                 level="DEBUG",
                                 stream=True,
                                 setLog=True,
                                 setFile=True,
                                 maxBytes=10000,
                                 backupCount=10)
log = logger.getLogger(__name__)
log.info(f"Writting out file to: {set_logdir('default')}")
log.info("This is an informational log message.")
log.debug("This is a debug log message.")
log.warning("This is a warning log message.")
log.critical("This is a critical log message.")

What this will look like in the console:

If written to file:

>>> cat ~/Library/Logs/sample.log 
[2023-07-19 12:25:01,648] level=INFO     name=__main__     fn=<ipython-input-1-e1c5bba1549c> ln=14 func=<module>: Writting out file to: ~/Library/Logs
[2023-07-19 12:25:01,650] level=INFO     name=__main__     fn=<ipython-input-1-e1c5bba1549c> ln=15 func=<module>: This is an informational log message.
[2023-07-19 12:25:01,652] level=DEBUG    name=__main__     fn=<ipython-input-1-e1c5bba1549c> ln=16 func=<module>: This is a debug log message.
[2023-07-19 12:25:01,658] level=WARNING  name=__main__     fn=<ipython-input-1-e1c5bba1549c> ln=17 func=<module>: This is a warning log message.

If the name value is passed as a string instead of using the python file name the name will show up in the logs such as:

log = logger.getLogger("easy_logger")

[2023-07-19 12:34:53,266] level=INFO     name=easy_logger  fn=<ipython-input-2-297430e75a74> ln=14 func=<module>: Writting out file to: ~/Library/Logs
[2023-07-19 12:34:53,268] level=INFO     name=easy_logger  fn=<ipython-input-2-297430e75a74> ln=15 func=<module>: This is an informational log message.
[2023-07-19 12:34:53,268] level=DEBUG    name=easy_logger  fn=<ipython-input-2-297430e75a74> ln=16 func=<module>: This is a debug log message.
[2023-07-19 12:34:53,269] level=WARNING  name=easy_logger  fn=<ipython-input-2-297430e75a74> ln=17 func=<module>: This is a warning log message.

NOTE: It is usually best practice when passing a logger around a large project to pick up the name of the file and the function for easier troubleshooting depending on what method you use.

Extended Functions

Application Log Directory:

You can set up a subdirectory for your application on a system using the system's default location by leveraging and extension function in the logDir value.

import easy_logger
from easy_logger.utils import set_logdir

logger = easy_logger.RotatingLog(__name__,
                                 logName="sample.log",
                                 logDir=set_logdir("extend", extend="ApplicationName"),
                                 level="DEBUG",
                                 stream=True,
                                 setLog=True,
                                 setFile=True,
                                 maxBytes=10000,
                                 backupCount=10)
log = logger.getLogger(__name__)
log.info(f"log directory set to {logger.settings.logDir}")
log.info("This is an informational log message.")
log.debug("This is a debug log message.")
log.warning("This is a warning log message.")
log.critical("This is a critical log message.")

>>> cat ~/Library/Logs/ApplicationName/sample.log

[2023-07-28 13:03:48,438] level=INFO     name=__main__     fn=<ipython-input-3-edd6755574f8> ln=1 func=<module>: log directory set to ~/Library/Logs/ApplicationName

v0.0.5

• Added a retry decorator.
• Added Error handler with ability to customize the error return value or ability to log out the error.
