risclog.logging 1.2.1

Creating a logger

To create a logger, use the get_logger function. This function ensures that you get an instance of RiscLogger that is properly configured.

from risclog.logging import get_logger

# create logger
logger = get_logger(name='my_logger')

Configuration of the logger

The logger configuration takes place automatically when the logger instance is created using get_logger. The _configure_logger method sets up structlog and logging to provide logs with timestamps, context variables and formatting. You can customize the configuration as required.

The module is configured to automatically read the logging level from an environment variable. By default, the level is set to INFO. To adjust this, set the LOG_LEVEL environment variable:

export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

Use the following methods to log messages with different log levels:

• Debug-message: logger.debug(“This is a debug message”)

• Info-message: logger.info(“This is an info message”)

• Warning-message: logger.warning(“This is a warning message”)

• Error-message: logger.error(“This is an error message”)

• Critical-message: logger.critical(“This is a critical message”)

• Fatal-message: logger.fatal(“This is a fatal message”)

• Exception-message: logger.exception(“This is an exception message”)

Asynchronous and synchronous log messages

The risclog.logging package supports both synchronous and asynchronous log messages. If you are working in an asynchronous environment, use the asynchronous versions of the log methods:

• Asynchronous debug message: await logger.debug(“Async debug message”)

• Asynchronous info message: await logger.info(“Async info message”)

• And so on…

Decorator for logging

The decorator decorator can be used to provide methods with automatic logging and optional e-mail notification of exceptions

from risclog.logging import get_logger

logger = get_logger(name='my_logger')

@logger.decorator(send_email=True)
async def some_async_function(x, y):
    return x + y

from risclog.logging import get_logger

logger = get_logger(name='my_logger')

@logger.decorator
def some_sync_function(x, y):
    return x + y

Error handling and e-mail notification

If you set the send_email parameter to True, an email notification is automatically sent in the event of an exception. The email is sent asynchronously via a ThreadPoolExecutor and contains the exception details.

To be able to send e-mails, the following environment variables must be set!

• ‘logging_email_smtp_user’

• ‘logging_email_smtp_password’

• ‘logging_email_to’

• ‘logging_email_smtp_server’

Example

Here is a complete example showing how to use the risclog.logginng package in an application

import os
import asyncio
from risclog.logging import get_logger


os.environ["LOG_LEVEL"] = "DEBUG"

logger = get_logger("async_debug_example")


@logger.decorator(send_email=True)
async def fetch_data(url: str):
    await logger.debug(f"Start retrieving data from  {url}")
    await asyncio.sleep(2)  # Simulates a delay, such as a network request
    await logger.debug(f"Successfully retrieved data from {url}")
    return {"data": f"Sample data from {url}"}


@logger.decorator
async def main():
    url = "https://example.com"
    await logger.debug(f"Start main function with URL: {url}")
    data = await fetch_data(url)
    await logger.debug(f"Data received: {data}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    logger.info("Start main function")
    asyncio.run(main())

output:
