Python package for logging to LogDNA
$ pip install logdna
import logging
from logdna import LogDNAHandler
key = 'YOUR INGESTION KEY HERE'
log = logging.getLogger('logdna')
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)
options = {
'hostname': 'pytest',
'ip': '10.0.1.1',
'mac': 'C0:FF:EE:C0:FF:EE'
}
# Defaults to false, when true ensures meta object will be searchable
options['index_meta'] = True
test = LogDNAHandler(key, options)
log.addHandler(test)
log.warn("Warning message", {'app': 'bloop'})
log.info("Info message")
Required
Optional
- Hostname - (String) - max length 32 chars
- MAC Address - (String)
- IP Address - (String)
- Max Length - (Boolean) - formatted as options['max_length']
- Index Meta - (Boolean) - formatted as options['index_meta']
After initial setup, logging is as easy as:
# Simplest use case
log.info('My Sample Log Line')
# Add a custom level
log.info('My Sample Log Line', { 'level': 'MyCustomLevel' })
# Include an App name with this specific log
log.info('My Sample Log Line', { 'level': 'Warn', 'app': 'myAppName'})
# Pass any associated objects along as metadata
meta = {
'foo': 'bar',
'nested': {
'nest1': 'nested text'
}
}
opts = {
'level': 'warn',
'meta': meta
}
log.info('My Sample Log Line', opts)
To use LogDNAHandler
with fileConfig
(e.g., in a Django settings.py
file):
import os
import logging
from logdna import LogDNAHandler # required to register `logging.handlers.LogDNAHandler`
LOGGING = {
# Other logging settings...
'handlers': {
'logdna': {
'level': logging.DEBUG,
'class': 'logging.handlers.LogDNAHandler',
'key': os.environ.get('LOGDNA_INGEST_KEY'),
'options': {
'app': '<app name>',
'env': os.environ.get('ENVIRONMENT'),
'index_meta': <True|False>,
},
},
},
'loggers': {
'': {
'handlers': ['logdna'],
'level': logging.DEBUG
},
},
}
(This example assumes you have set environment variables for ENVIRONMENT
and LOGDNA_INGEST_KEY
)

Python LogRecord
