FastAPI middlewares to improve logging with stlog library

stlog-fastapi-middlewares

FastAPI/starlette middlewares to improve logging with stlog library.

Installation

pip install stlog-fastapi-middlewares

(or equivalent command for your favorite package manager)

Usage (with FastAPI)

import stlog
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.concurrency import asynccontextmanager
from stlog_fastapi_middlewares import (
    AccessLogMiddleware,
    CustomExceptionHandlingMiddleware,
    LogContextMiddleware,
)


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    stlog.setup()
    yield


logger = stlog.getLogger(__name__)
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
app.add_middleware(CustomExceptionHandlingMiddleware, logger=logger)
app.add_middleware(AccessLogMiddleware, logger=logger)
app.add_middleware(LogContextMiddleware, logger=logger)


@app.get("/")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

Reference

We provide 3 independent middlewares.

CustomExceptionHandlingMiddleware

This middleware logs exceptions to structured logs.

No extra option is available.

Example:

import stlog
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.concurrency import asynccontextmanager
from stlog_fastapi_middlewares import (
    CustomExceptionHandlingMiddleware,
)


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    stlog.setup()
    yield


logger = stlog.getLogger(__name__)
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
app.add_middleware(CustomExceptionHandlingMiddleware, logger=logger)


@app.get("/exception")
async def exception():
    raise Exception("test")

AccessLogMiddleware

This middleware logs access to the application (to get access logs in JSON format for example).

You can optionally provide an ignore_hook option to ignore (for access log only!) some URLs.

Example:

import stlog
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.concurrency import asynccontextmanager
from stlog_fastapi_middlewares import (
    AccessLogMiddleware,
)


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    stlog.setup()
    yield


logger = stlog.getLogger(__name__)
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
app.add_middleware(AccessLogMiddleware, logger=logger)


@app.get("/")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

[!NOTE] As FastAPI or uvicorn already outputs some access logs, you may want to disable them! For example, with uvicorn, you can use the --no-access-log flag.

LogContextMiddleware

This middleware adds some request context to structured logs (think of automatic request id, process id...).

There are multiple options to customize the middleware. See the corresponding code for reference.

Example:

import os
import stlog
from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.concurrency import asynccontextmanager
from stlog_fastapi_middlewares import (
    LogContextMiddleware,
)


@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    stlog.setup()
    yield


logger = stlog.getLogger(__name__)
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
app.add_middleware(
    LogContextMiddleware,
    logger=logger,
    add_pid=True,
    add_request_id=True,
    envs_to_kvs={"FOO": "foo", "BAR": "bar"},
    headers_to_kvs={"X-Test-Id": "test_id"},
)

# Let's add some environment variables to test the middleware
os.environ["FOO"] = "foo2"
os.environ["BAR"] = "bar2"


@app.get("/")
async def root():
    logger.info("hello world")
    # => this call will output a log with the following extra keys:
    # - foo
    # - bar
    # - pid
    # - request_id
    # - test_id (if the call is made with a X-Test-Id header)
    return {"message": "Hello World"}
