python-logging-rabbitmq 1.0.2

Send logs to RabbitMQ from Python/Django

# python-logging-rabbitmq
Logging handler to ships logs to RabbitMQ. Compatible with Django.

## Installation
Install using pip.
```sh
pip install python_logging_rabbitmq
```
After this, you should be able to import the handler directly as follows:
```python
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler
```

## Standalone python
To use with python first create a logger for your app, then create an instance of the handler and add it to the logger created.
```python
import logging
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler

logger = logging.getLogger('myapp')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(host='localhost', port=5672)
logger.addHandler(rabbit)

logger.debug('test debug')
```
As result, a similar message as follows will be sent to RabbitMQ:
```
{
"relativeCreated":280.61580657958984,
"process":13105,
"args":[],
"module":"test",
"funcName":"<module>",
"host":"UY-IT00150",
"exc_text":null,
"name":"myapp",
"thread":140032818181888,
"created":1482290387.454017,
"threadName":"MainThread",
"msecs":454.01692390441895,
"filename":"test.py",
"levelno":10,
"processName":"MainProcess",
"pathname":"test.py",
"lineno":11,
"msg":"test debug",
"exc_info":null,
"levelname":"DEBUG"
}
```

##Sending logs
By default, logs will be sent to RabbitMQ using the exchange **'log'**, this should be of **type topic**. The **routing key** used is formed by concatenating the *logger name* and the *log level*. For example:
```python
import logging
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler

logger = logging.getLogger('myapp')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(RabbitMQHandler(host='localhost', port=5672))

logger.info('test info')
logger.debug('test debug')
logger.warn('test warning')
```
Three messages will be sent using the following routing keys:
- myapp.INFO
- myapp.DEBUG
- myapp.WARN

For an explanation about topics and routing keys go to https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-python.html

When create the handler, you're able to specify different parameters in order to connect to RabbitMQ or configure the handler behavior.

## Configuration
These are the configuration allowed:

| Parameter | Description | Default |
|------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |--------------------------------------- |
| host | RabbitMQ Server hostname or ip address. | localhost |
| port | RabbitMQ Server port. | 5672 |
| username | Username for authentication. | None |
| password | Provide a password for the username. | None |
| exchange | Name of the exchange to publish the logs. This exchange is considered of type topic. | log |
| declare_exchange | Whether or not to declare the exchange. | False |
| connection_params | Allow extra params to connect with RabbitMQ. | None |
| formatter | Use custom formatter for the logs. | python_logging_rabbitmq.JSONFormatter |
| fields | Dict to add as a field in each logs send to RabbitMQ. This is useful when you want fields in each log but without pass them every time. | None |
| fields_under_root | When is True, each key in parameter 'fields' will be added as an entry in the log, otherwise they will be logged under the key 'fields'. | True |


### Examples
#### RabbitMQ Connection
```python
rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(
host='localhost',
port=5672,
username='guest',
password='guest',
connection_params={
'virtual_host': '/',
'connection_attempts': 3,
'socket_timeout': 5000
}
)
```

#### Custom fields
```python
rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(
host='localhost',
port=5672,
fields={
'source': 'MyApp',
'env': 'production'
},
fields_under_root=True
)
```

#### Custom formatter
By default, python_logging_rabbitmq implements a custom JSONFormatter; but if you prefer to format your own message you could do it as follow:

```python
import logging
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler

FORMAT = '%(asctime)-15s %(message)s'
formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt=FORMAT)
rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(formatter=formatter)
```
For a custom JSON Formatter take a look at https://github.com/madzak/python-json-logger

## Django
To use with Django add the handler in the [logging config](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/logging/#configuring-logging).

```
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {
'rabbit': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
'host': 'localhost'
}
},
'loggers': {
'myapp': {
'handlers': ['rabbit'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': False
}
}
}
```

## Configuration
Same as when use it with standalone python, you could configure the handle directly when declaring it in the config:
```
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {
'rabbit': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
'host': 'localhost',
'port': 5672,
'username': 'guest',
'password': 'guest',
'exchange': 'log',
'declare_exchange': False,
'connection_params': {
'virtual_host': '/',
'connection_attempts': 3,
'socket_timeout': 5000
},
'fields': {
'source': 'MainAPI',
'env': 'production'
},
'fields_under_root': True
}
},
'loggers': {
'myapp': {
'handlers': ['rabbit'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': False
}
}
}
```

#### Custom formatter
```
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'standard': {
'format': '%(levelname)-8s [%(asctime)s]: %(message)s',
}
},
'handlers': {
'rabbit': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
'host': 'localhost',
'formatter': 'standard'
}
},
'loggers': {
'myapp': {
'handlers': ['rabbit'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': False
}
}
}
```

#### JSON formatter
```sh
pip install python-json-logger
```

```
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'json': {
'()': 'pythonjsonlogger.jsonlogger.JsonFormatter',
'fmt': '%(name)s %(levelname) %(asctime)s %(message)s'
}
},
'handlers': {
'rabbit': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
'host': 'localhost',
'formatter': 'json'
}
},
'loggers': {
'myapp': {
'handlers': ['rabbit'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': False
}
}
}
```
