Loggate

The complex logging system with support of log metadata and delivery to Grafana Loki. This library supports threading & asyncio modules.

Simple stdout/stderr colorized output

One example is more than a thousand words.

from loggate import setup_logging, get_logger

setup_logging(level='DEBUG')
logger = get_logger('component', meta={'version': '1.0.0'})

logger.debug('Loading resources for the component')
logger.info('Initialize of the component')
logger.warning('The component is not ready')
logger.error('The component failed.',
             meta={'inputs': {'A': 1, 'B': 2}})
logger.critical('The component unexpected failed.',
                meta={'attrs': {'A': 1, 'B': 2}})

Console output:

Exceptions

from loggate import setup_logging, get_logger

setup_logging()
logger = get_logger('component', meta={'version': '1.0.0'})

try:
    raise Exception('Some error')
except Exception as ex:
    logger.error('The component failed.', exc_info=True)

Console output:

Advanced configuration

The Loggate supports a declarative configuration alike as logging.config. But this support profiles as well. It's mean we can declare many logging profiles and switch between them. Default profile is called default.

We can use yaml file as configuration file (see next):

profiles:
  default:                             
    # Default profile
    filters:
      warning:                          
        # This is a filter for stdout logger, that enable only logs with level lower than WARNING. 
        # For logs with WARNING and higher we use stderr logger. 
        class: loggate.LowerLogLevelFilter
        level: WARNING

    formatters:
      colored:
        # This is stdout/sterr formatter. 
        class: loggate.LogColorFormatter
      loki:
        # This is formatter of loki messages.
        class: loggate.loki.LokiLogFormatter

    handlers:
      stdout:
        # This is a stdout handler
        class: logging.StreamHandler
        stream: ext://sys.stdout
        formatter: colored
        filters:
          - warning
      stderr:
        # This is a stderr handler
        class: logging.StreamHandler
        stream: ext://sys.stderr
        formatter: colored
        level: WARNING        
      loki:
        # This is a loki handler
        class: loggate.loki.LokiThreadHandler  # for asyncio use loggate.loki.LokiHandler       
        formatter: loki
        urls:
          - "http://loki1:3100/loki/api/v1/push"
          - "http://loki2:3100/loki/api/v1/push"
          - "http://loki3:3100/loki/api/v1/push"
        meta:
          # loggate handlers accept metadata as well. Standard logging handlers do not!
          stage: dev
          ip: 192.168.1.10                
                  

    loggers:
        root:          
          level: INFO
          handlers:
            - stdout
            - stderr        
            - loki
        'urllib3.connectionpool': 
          level: WARNING

import yaml
from loggate import setup_logging, get_logger


def get_yaml(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r+') as fd:
        return yaml.safe_load(fd)


schema = get_yaml('test.yaml')
setup_logging(profiles=schema.get('profiles'))

logger = get_logger('component')

logger.debug('Loading resources for the component')
logger.info('Initialize of the component')
logger.warning('The component is not ready')

The console output is the same as above, but now we send logs to Loki as well.

Loki output:

Description

Methods

• get_logger

  • name - Return logger for this name. Empty name returns root logger.
  • meta - Metadata (dict), which are sent only by this logger.

• getLogger - only alias for get_logger

• setup_logging - init setup of application logging.

  • profiles - Profiles (dict) of logging profiles. When we do not set this parameter, application use predefined profile with log INFO level (this level can be set by parameter level).
  • default_profile - name of the default profile (default: default)
  • level - This is special parameter for situation when application use predefined profile (default INFO).

Filters

Class loggate.LowerLogLevelFilter

This filters out all logs which are higher than level.

• level - log level

Formatters

Class loggate.LogColorFormatter

Colorized formatter for stdout/stderr.

• fmt - message format (default: %(LEVEL_COLOR)s%(asctime)s\t [%(levelname)s] %(name)s:%(COLOR_RESET)s %(message)s)
• datefmt - datetime format (default: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S)
• style - style of templating (default: %).
• validate - validate the input format (default: True)
• INDENTATION_TRACEBACK - default: \t\t\t
• INDENTATION_METADATA - default: \t\t\t\t
• COLOR_DEBUG, ..., COLOR_CRITICAL - set color of this levels (e.g. \x1b[1;31m, see more colors).
• COLOR_METADATA - set color metadata
• COLOR_TRACEBACK - set color of tracebacks
• COLOR_... - set custom color

Class loggate.loki.LokiLogFormatter

This is special loki formatter, this converts log records to jsons.

Handlers

Class loggate.loki.LokiHandler

This handler send log records to Loki server. This is blocking implementation of handler. It means, when we call log method (debug, ... critical) the message is sent in the same thread. We should use this only for tiny scripts where other ways have a big overhead.

• level - This handler sends only log records with log level equal or higher than this (default: all = logging.NOTSET).
• urls - List of loki entrypoints.
• strategy - Deploy strategy (default: random).
  • random - At the beginning the handler choose random Loki server and others are fallbacks.
  • fallbacks - The handler uses the first Loki server and others are fallbacks.
  • all - The handler send the log record to all loki servers.
• auth - The Loki authentication, the list with two items (username, password).
• timeout - Timeout for one delivery try (default: 5s).
• ssl_verify - Enable ssl verify (default: True).
• loki_tags - the list of metadata keys, which are sent to Loki server as label (defailt: [logger, level]).
• meta - Metadata (dict), which are sent only by this handler.

Class loggate.loki.LokiAsyncioHandler

This is non-bloking extending of LokiHandler. We register an extra asyncio task for sending messages to the Loki server. Parameters are the same as loggate.loki.LokiHandler. This handler uses urllib.requests module in default (aiohttp as optional). Unfortunately urllib.requests module does not support asyncio, it means the sending itself is blocking. The loggate.loki.Loki AsyncioHandler can use the optional dependency aiohttp for non-bloking sending.

Class loggate.loki.LokiThreadHandler

This is non-bloking extending of LokiHandler. We register and start an extra thread for sending messages to the Loki server. Parameters are the same as loggate.loki.LokiHandler.

Profiles

The structure of profiles (parameter profiles of setup_logging).

    <filter_name>:
      class: <filter_class>
      <filter_attribute_name>: <filter_attribute_value>

      class: <handler_class>
      <handler_attribute_name>: <handler_attribute_value>
