Logging as Storytelling
Project description
Eliot provides a structured logging and tracing system for Python that generates log messages describing a forest of nested actions. Actions start and eventually finish, successfully or not. Log messages thus tell a story: what happened and what caused it.
Features:
Structured, typed log messages.
Ability to log actions, not just point-in-time information: log messages become a trace of program execution.
Excellent support for unit testing your logging code.
Emphasis on performance, including no blocking I/O in logging code path.
Optional Twisted support.
Designed for JSON output, usable by Logstash/Elasticsearch.
Supports CPython 2.7, 3.3 and PyPy.
Eliot is released by HybridCluster under the Apache 2.0 License.
To install:
$ pip install eliot
Downloads are available on PyPI.
Documentation can be found on Read The Docs.
