You can either clone the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/rcourivaud/logstash_logger

$ curl  -OL https://github.com/rcourivaud/logstash_logger/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

Usage

This logger must be used with ELK (ElasticSearch, LogStash, Kibana) stack :: You can find docker stack image to build the entire stack https://github.com/rcourivaud/docker-elk

To use Logstash Logger in a project:

from logstash_logger import LogstashLogger

You just have to inherit from LogstashLogger Class:

class MyClass(LogstashLogger):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(logger_name,
             file_name=None,
             host="localhost",
             port=5000,
             extra=None,
             **kwargs)
        self.info("Initialize {}".format(self.__class__)

You can define extra parameters which will be passed over all logging functions

class MyClass(LogstashLogger):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(logger_name,
             extra={"class":self.__class__})
        self.info("Initializing method ", extra={"comment":")

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up logstash_logger for local development.

  1. Fork the logstash_logger repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/logstash_logger.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv logstash_logger
$ cd logstash_logger/
$ python setup.py develop

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 logstash_logger tests
$ python setup.py test or py.test
$ tox

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/rcourivaud/logstash_logger/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_logstash_logger
