zopyx.plone.persistentlogger 0.4.1

Persistent logging for Plone objects

zopyx.plone.persistentlogger

zopyx.plone.persistentlogger supports persistent logging where the log data is stored on an arbitrary persistent Plone object (as annotation). Typical usecases are application specific logging e.g. for logging a history per content object directly in Plone rather then having a huge common log on the filesystem. The log entries are stored using object annotations.

Usage:

from zopyx.plone.persistentlogger.logger import IPersistentLogger

def do_something(...):

    # ``context`` represents the current context object

    adapter = IPersistentLogger(context)
    adapter.log(u'this is a logging message')
    adapter.log(u'this is an error message', level='error')
    adapter.log(u'this is an error message', level='error', details='....')

details can be either a string or a Python datastructure like a dict, a list or a tuple. The logger will convert non-string data using the pprint module of Python into a nicely readable string. level can be an arbitrary string for indicating the severity of the logging message. The module does not perform any checking on the given message level. Sorting on level is accomplished only on the lexicographical ordering of the level values.

The logs can be view through-the-web through the URL http://host/path/to/object/@@persistent-log . The logs can be clear using the URL http://host/path/to/object/@@persistent-log-clear. Both URLs require the permission of modify the related object.

All logs can be searched, sorted and filtered individually based on the Datatables.net implementation.
