Installation

Python 2.7 or Python 3.4+ is required.

pip install supervisor-logstash-notifier

Note that Supervisor itself does not yet work on Python 3, though it can be installed in a separate environment (because supervisor-logstash-notifier is a separate process).

Usage

The Logstash instance to send the events to is configured with the environment variables:

• LOGSTASH_SERVER

• LOGSTASH_PORT

• LOGSTASH_PROTO

Add the plugin as an event listener:

# Capture state changes
[eventlistener:logging]
command = logstash_notifier
events = PROCESS_STATE

# Capture stdout/stderr
[eventlistener:logging]
command = logstash_notifier --capture-output
events = PROCESS_LOG

# Capture state changes and stdout/stderr
[eventlistener:logging]
command = logstash_notifier --capture-output
events = PROCESS_STATE,PROCESS_LOG

If you don’t wish to define the environment variables for the entire shell, you can pass them in via Supervisor’s configuration:

[eventlistener:logging]
environment=LOGSTASH_SERVER="127.0.0.1",LOGSTASH_PORT="12201",LOGSTASH_PROTO="tcp"
command=logstash_notifier
events=PROCESS_STATE

Enable the log events in your program:

[program:yourprogram]
stdout_events_enabled = true
stderr_events_enabled = true

Advanced Usage

It is also possible to include environment variables in the event messages, by specifying the name of the environment variables to include:

[eventlistener:logging]
command=export IPV4=`ec2metadata --local-ipv4`; logstash_notifier --include IPV4
events=PROCESS_STATE

Or alternatively, by specifying arbitrary keyvals of data to log:

[eventlistener:logging]
command=logstash_notifier --include bears="polar,brown,black" notbears="unicorn,griffin,sphinx,otter"
events=PROCESS_STATE

These two forms of arbitrary user data inclusion can be combined, and used together if necessary.

Running with Logstash

Logstash can be simply configured to receive events:

input {
    tcp {
        port => 12201
        codec => json
    }
}

output {
    stdout {
        codec => rubydebug
    }
}

The JSON produced by the events and log output will look like this:

# State changes
{
  "@timestamp": "2016-03-28T23:58:03.469Z",
  "@version": "1",
