Welcome to the telegram-logger-client - where your logs go to become stars!
Before you dive in, make sure you've got your backstage pass ready:
-
You'll need to set up and run the telegram-logger service. It's like the bouncer at the club - without it, your logs aren't getting in.
-
Head over to https://github.com/psyb0t/telegram-logger for the VIP instructions on setting up the telegram-logger service.
-
Once you've got that service up and running, come back here and let's make some noise!
Install this badass as a module and executable:
pip install telegram-logger-client
Go with pipx
to just use it as an executable:
pipx install telegram-logger-client
Summon the TelegramLoggerClient in your Python code:
from telegram_logger_client import TelegramLoggerClient
# Create your logger
logger = TelegramLoggerClient("https://your-logger-url.com", "your-secret-token")
# Send a log (it's like tweeting, but geekier)
logger.send_log(
caller="CoffeeBot",
level="warning",
message="Coffee levels critically low!",
error="Caffeine deficiency detected",
request_id="coffee-run-42",
trace_id="from-bed-to-coffee-machine",
span_id="mug-to-mouth",
data={"coffee_type": "Espresso", "sugar": False, "milk": "Oat"}
)
Want to supercharge your existing logger with Telegram powers? We've got you covered! Use the attach_to_logger
function to add Telegram logging to any logger instance:
import logging
from telegram_logger_client import attach_to_logger
# Basic configuration for console output
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
# Create your logger
logger = logging.getLogger("your_logger_name")
# Set up Telegram logging
attach_to_logger(logger)
# Use the logger as usual
logger.info("This will be sent to Telegram Logger and output to stdout")
The attach_to_logger
function is like a magic wand that adds Telegram logging capabilities to your existing logger. It takes care of all the behind-the-scenes work, so you can focus on what really matters - logging your heart out!
Parameters for attach_to_logger
:
logger
: Your existing logger instance (required)base_url
: The URL where your Telegram Logger service lives (optional if set in environment)x_id
: Your secret Telegram Logger handshake (optional if set in environment)level
: Set a specific logging level for Telegram logging (optional)show_originating_file
: Show the origin of the log (optional)
Don't forget to set your TELEGRAM_LOGGER_BASE_URL
and TELEGRAM_LOGGER_X_ID
environment variables, or pass them directly to attach_to_logger
. Now go forth and log like a boss! ๐๐
First, set up your secret lair:
export TELEGRAM_LOGGER_BASE_URL=https://your-logger-url.com
export TELEGRAM_LOGGER_X_ID=your-secret-token
Now, shout into the void (or just send a log):
telegram-logger-client \
--caller "WeatherBot" \
--level "info" \
--message "It's raining cats and dogs!" \
--error "Umbrella malfunction" \
--request-id "weather-101" \
--trace-id "cloud-to-ground" \
--span-id "drop-to-splash" \
--data '{"temperature": "chilly", "wind": "breezy"}'
Want to see every little detail? Add the --debug
flag:
telegram-logger-client \
--debug \
--caller "WeatherBot" \
--level "info" \
--message "It's raining cats and dogs!"
The client itself has two modes:
- Normal Mode (default): "Just the highlights" mode
- Debug Mode: "I can hear a pin drop" mode
Your logs, on the other hand, can be as dramatic as you want:
- "debug": "console.log" level
- "info": "Just FYI" level
- "warning": "Hmm, that's interesting" level
- "error": "Houston, we have a problem" level
Create your logger. Feed it URLs and tokens.
Send your log on a grand adventure. Pack its bags with:
caller
: Who's making all this noise?level
: How important is this, really?message
: What's the scoop?error
: What went boom?request_id
: A unique ID for this particular escapadetrace_id
: For retracing your stepsspan_id

object (a postcard from your log's journey).

Remember: Command line arguments are the divas of the coding world - they always steal the show from environment variables.
