Simple python pip package to log to elasticsearch. The main focus of this package is simplicity, such that errorlogging becomes super easy and needs only to be set up once.

Install

Hosted on PyPi now: https://pypi.org/project/simpleelasticlogging/

So just simply run `pip install simpleelasticlogging´

Bleeding Edge version:

`pip install git+https://github.com/JustinGuese/pip-simple-elasticsearch-logging´

Usage

from simpleelasticlogging import ElasticLogger
el = Elasticlogger()

def boundToFail():
    array = [2, 6, "tendies"]
    for elem in array:
        try:
            elem = elem / 2
        except Exception as e:
            msg = {
                "error" : repr(e),
                "elementWhereItHappened": elem,
                "otherNotes": "boundToFail Function"
            }
            el.log(msg)
            # raise

boundToFail()

Elasticsearch connection

The connection supports host, port, user and password for elastic.

The default values are - which can be changed:

• host="localhost"
• port=9200
• es_user = None
• es_pass = None
• appname = "app"
• errorindexname = "errors"

es_user and es_pass only need to be passed if xpack security in Elasticsearch is enabled, together with the Elasticsearch user.

Description

The good thing with a NoSql database is, that you can basically submit anything you want to the log() function as it takes everything.

I created this even though other packages exist to make it even simpler to log to elastic, and to support username and password with Elasticsearch.
