python-victorialogs-handler

A high-performance Python log handler for VictoriaLogs.

Description

victorialogs-handler is a high-performance Python log handler tailored for VictoriaLogs. It integrates seamlessly with Python’s native logging module, allowing you to stream log events to a VictoriaLogs instance with minimal configuration.

• Non-blocking: Logs are stored in a buffer and later processed in a background thread.
• Hybrid trigger: Log processing is triggered by a ticker and/or when a size threshold is reached.
• Batching: Multiple logs are combined into one request to the log server to minimize the amount of requests.
• Complete logs: All fields of a log record are transmitted including exceptions and extra fields.
• Highly customizable: The handler's behavior is highly customizable (see also Documentation)

Installation

The handler can be installed with PIP from PyPI:

pip install victorialogs-handler

Quick start

[!NOTE] The script assumes that there is a VictoriaLogs server running on the same system at the default URL: http://localhost:9428

Here is a quick example on how to use the handler in your Python script:

import logging

from vlogs_handler import VictoriaLogsHandler

# Create a custom logger with INFO level
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Add a handler for VictoriaLogs
vlogs_handler = VictoriaLogsHandler()
vlogs_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(vlogs_handler)

# Log example
logger.info("This is an info message")

Please see the directory /examples for additional examples on how to use the handler.
