Djehouty

Djehouty intends to be a set of logging formatters and handlers to easily send log entries.

This package includes:

• for GELF:

  • a TCP/TLS handler to send log entries over TCP with TLS support
  • a formatter to convert logging record into GELF(1.1).

• for LTSV:

  • a TCP/TLS handler to send log entries over TCP with TLS support
  • a formatter to convert logging record into LTSV.

Install

Using pip

You can use pip to install Djehouty, make sure you have the latest version:

How to send logs

The following examples assume that you already have a Flowgger (see the Flowgger documentation for more information) or a Graylog functional.

To send log messages, just use the handler of the desired format with the following parameters:

• host (required): The hostname or ip address of the server.
• port (optional): The TCP port to use (default: 12200 for GELF, 5140 for LTSV).
• level (optional): Sets the threshold for the handler (default: logging.NOTSET).
• use_tls (optional): Do we use TLS? (default: False).
• cert_reqs (optional): Specifies whether a certificate is required from the other side of the connection, see SSL constants) (default: ssl.CERT_NONE).
• ca_certs (optional): File that contains a set of concatenated “certification authority” certificates (default: None).
• static_fields (optional): Additional static fields sent with all logging. record (default: empty dict).
• sock_timeout (optional): Socket timeout is seconds (default: 1).
• null_character (optional): Append a null character at the end of each message (required by Graylog for GELF).

With GELF over TCP/TLS (Flowgger and Graylog)

import logging
from djehouty.gelf.handlers import GELFTCPSocketHandler

gelf_logger = logging.getLogger('djehouty-gelf')
gelf_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
gelf_logger.addHandler(GELFTCPSocketHandler(
    host            = "127.0.0.1", 
    port            = 5140, 
    static_fields   = {"app": 'djehouty-gelf'}, 
    use_tls         = True,
    level           = logging.DEBUG,
    null_character  = True,
))

gelf_logger.info('test')

With LTSV over TCP/TLS (Flowgger only)

import logging
from djehouty.ltsv.handlers import LTSVTCPSocketHandler

ltsv_logger = logging.getLogger('djehouty-ltsv')
ltsv_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) 
ltsv_logger.addHandler(LTSVTCPSocketHandler(
    host            = "127.0.0.1", 
    port            = 5140, 
    static_fields   = {"app": 'djehouty-ltsv'}, 
    use_tls         = True,
    level           = logging.DEBUG
))

ltsv_logger.info('test')

Send additional meta data

If you have many handler, you can use the logging.LoggerAdapter class to add extra.

The following example uses the LTSV logger defined above:

mylogger = logging.LoggerAdapter(
    ltsv_logger,
    extra = {"myvar": 5}
)
mylogger.info('test')

You can add specific log meta for each entry using the extra parameter, the following example uses the LTSV logger defined above:

ltsv_logger.info("Hello '%s'", 'Cedric', extra={"lang": 'en'})
ltsv_logger.info("Bonjour '%s'", 'Cedric', extra={"lang": 'fr'})

Other transport

The formatters can be used directly, especially for debugging or write to files.

The following example format each log record into GELF and LTSV:

import sys
import logging
from djehouty.gelf.formatters import GELFFormatter
from djehouty.ltsv.formatters import LTSVFormatter

logger = logging.getLogger('djehouty')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# GELF
hdr = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
hdr.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
hdr.setFormatter(GELFFormatter(static_fields={"app": 'djehouty-gelf'}))
logger.addHandler(hdr)

# LTSV
hdr = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
hdr.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
hdr.setFormatter(LTSVFormatter(static_fields={"app": 'djehouty-ltsv'}))
logger.addHandler(hdr)

logger.info("Hello %s", 'cedric', extra={"lang": 'en'})

Output (GELF and LTSV):
