rusty-logger 0.3.0

Super fast logging for python

Rusty Logger

Simple, opinionated and blazingly fast python logging. Rusty-Logger is a thin python wrapper for Rust's tracing library that provides a mostly drop-in replacement for pythons default logging.

Supported Configuration

Arg	Description	Default
stdout	Log to stdout	True
stderr	Log to stderr	False
level	Level to log	INFO
app_env	Application environment (APP_ENV env var)	development
lock_guard	Whether to lock logger to current context	False
thread_id	Whether to display the thread id	False
color	Whether to enable ansi coloring of logs for standard logger	False
time_format	Custom time format for logger	[year]-[month]-[day]T[hour repr:24]:[minute]:[second]::[subsecond digits:4]
json_config	JsonConig	None
json_config.flatten	Whether to flatten any passed fields	True
file_config	LogFileConfig	None
file_config.filename	Filename for log	log/logs.log
file_config.rotate	File rotation specification. daily, hourly, minutely or never	never

Constraints

Time is currently limited to UTC; however, you can customize time format to your liking using the time_format arg. Please refer to (time docs)[https://time-rs.github.io/book/api/format-description.html] for formatting guidelines. In addition, because Rusty-Logger calls Rust directly, it's not currently possible to pull the specific line number where logging takes place unless python is directly used (if you're even interested in this feature :smile:). If you'd like to see this feature implemented, and you want to contribute, please refer to the contributing guide.

In addition, Rusty-Logger is a mostly drop-in replacement, meaning that you may need to make some minor changes to your existing code. For example, Rusty-Logger does not support current python lazy formatting (e.g. logger.info("Number: %s", 10)). Instead, Rusty-Logger uses Rust's default bracket ({}) formatting.

# This is not supported
logger.info("Number: %s", 10)

# This is supported
logger.info("Number: {}", 10)

Basic Usage

from rusty_logger import Logger

logger = Logger.get_logger(__file__)
logger.info("Loggy McLogface")

output

2023-10-18T00:11:43::3194  INFO Loggy McLogface app_env="development" name="your_file.py"

JSON

from rusty_logger import Logger, LogConfig, JsonConfig

logger = Logger.get_logger(__file__, LogConfig(json_config=JsonConfig()))
logger.info("Loggy McLogface logs")

output

{"timestamp":"2023-10-18T00:10:59::9732","level":"INFO","message":"Loggy McLogface logs","app_env":"development","name":"your_file.py"}

Log to file

from rusty_logger import Logger, LogConfig, JsonConfig, LogLevel, LogFileConfig

logger = Logger.get_logger(
    name=__file__,
    config=LogConfig(
        stdout=False,
        level=LogLevel.WARN,
        json_config=JsonConfig(),
        file_config=LogFileConfig(filename="logs/test.log"),
    ),
)
logger.warning("Loggy McLogface logs logs")

output from log/test.log

{"timestamp":"2023-10-18T00:10:10::9364","level":"WARN","message":"Loggy McLogface logs logs","app_env":"development","name":"your_file.py"}

Record multiple places at once

from rusty_logger import Logger, LogConfig, JsonConfig, LogMetadata, LogLevel, LogFileConfig

logger = Logger.get_logger(
    __file__,
    LogConfig(
        stdout=True,
        level=LogLevel.ERROR,
        json_config=JsonConfig(),
        file_config=LogFileConfig(filename="logs/test.log")
    ),
)
logger.error("Loggy McLogface logs logs that are logs")

output

{"timestamp":"2023-10-18T00:09:32::4053","level":"ERROR","message":"Loggy McLogface logs logs that are logs","app_env":"development","name":"your_file.py"}

Additional examples

For additional examples, please see the examples directory which contains timed example of vanilla logger vs Rusty-Logger, python-json-logger vs Rusty-Logger as well as a multi-worker API example.

Performance

Why would we do this when python logging is fine? Because we wanted something faster :smile:. From our own benchmarks, Rusty-Logger tends to be ~4x faster than vanilla python logging and ~8x faster than vanilla JSON logging. And while speed may not be mission critical for a few thousands logs, it can be for millions, which many companies deal with on a daily basis. Time is money and compute, and we want to save you both :moneybag: :computer:.

Contributing

While Rusty-Logger is production ready out of the box, it is still in it's infancy and is ripe for additional contributions. If you'd like to contribute, please see the contributing guide.
