Usage

LogstashHandler is a custom logging handler which sends Logstash messages using UDP.

For example:

import logging
import logstash

test_logger = logging.getLogger('test_logger')
test_logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
test_logger.addHandler(logstash.LogstashHandler('localhost', 5959, version=1))

test_logger.info('Test logstash message.')
