# python-logstash

## Python logging handler for Logstash.
<https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash>

### Notes:
This is a copy of python-logstash: <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-logstash>
That has been update to work with python 3.

### Installation


Using pip:
`pip install python3-logstash`

### Usage

`LogstashHandler` is a custom logging handler which sends Logstash messages using UDP, or TCP.

#### For example:

```
import logging
import logstash
import sys

host = 'localhost'

test_logger = logging.getLogger('python-logstash-logger')
test_logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
test_logger.addHandler(logstash.LogstashHandler(host, 5959, version=1))
# test_logger.addHandler(logstash.TCPLogstashHandler(host, 5959, version=1))

test_logger.error('python-logstash: test logstash error message.')
test_logger.info('python-logstash: test logstash info message.')
test_logger.warning('python-logstash: test logstash warning message.')

# add extra field to logstash message
extra = {
'test_string': 'python version: ' + repr(sys.version_info),
'test_boolean': True,
'test_dict': {'a': 1, 'b': 'c'},
'test_float': 1.23,
'test_integer': 123,
'test_list': [1, 2, '3'],
}
test_logger.info('python-logstash: test extra fields', extra=extra)
```

When using `extra` field make sure you don't use reserved names. From `Python documentation <https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html>`_.
| "The keys in the dictionary passed in extra should not clash with the keys used by the logging system. (See the `Formatter <https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter>`_ documentation for more information on which keys are used by the logging system.)"

To use the AMQPLogstashHandler you will need to install pika first.
```
pip install pika
```

For example::
```
import logging
import logstash

test_logger = logging.getLogger('python-logstash-logger')
test_logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
test_logger.addHandler(logstash.AMQPLogstashHandler(host='localhost', version=1))

test_logger.info('python-logstash: test logstash info message.')
try:
1/0
except:
test_logger.exception('python-logstash-logger: Exception with stack trace!')
```


### Using with Django

Modify your `settings.py` to integrate `python3-logstash` with Django's logging::
```
LOGGING = {
...
'handlers': {
'logstash': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'logstash.LogstashHandler',
'host': 'localhost',
'port': 5959, # Default value: 5959
'version': 1, # Version of logstash event schema. Default value: 0 (for backward compatibility of the library)
'message_type': 'logstash', # 'type' field in logstash message. Default value: 'logstash'.
'fqdn': False, # Fully qualified domain name. Default value: false.
'tags': ['tag1', 'tag2'], # list of tags. Default: None.
},
},
'loggers': {
'django.request': {
'handlers': ['logstash'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': True,
},
},
...
}
```

### Using with Gunicorn
Create a logging.conf similar to this:
```
[loggers]
keys=root, logstash.error, logstash.access

[handlers]
keys=console , logstash

[formatters]
keys=generic, access, json

[logger_root]
level=INFO
handlers=console

[logger_logstash.error]
level=INFO
handlers=logstash
propagate=1
qualname=gunicorn.error

[logger_logstash.access]
level=INFO
handlers=logstash
propagate=0
qualname=gunicorn.access

[handler_console]
class=logging.StreamHandler
formatter=generic
args=(sys.stdout, )

[handler_logstash]
class=logstash.TCPLogstashHandler
formatter=json
args=('localhost',5959)

[formatter_generic]
format=%(asctime)s [%(process)d] [%(levelname)s] %(message)s
datefmt=%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
class=logging.Formatter

[formatter_access]
format=%(message)s
class=logging.Formatter

[formatter_json]
class=jsonlogging.JSONFormatter
```
#### Note that I am using the jsonlogging module to parse the gunicorn logs

### Sample logstash configuration

(``logstash.conf``) for Receiving Events from python3-logstash is::
```
input {
tcp {
port => 5000
codec => json
}
}
output {
stdout {
codec => rubydebug
}
}
```
