Elasticsearch Logger Middleware for FastAPI

Elasticsearch Logger Middleware for FastAPI is designed to facilitate detailed and efficient logging directly to Elasticsearch servers from FastAPI applications. It streamlines the logging processes by capturing detailed HTTP requests data and automates telemetry to provide insights into application performance.

Key Features

1. Elasticsearch Integration: Send logs directly to an Elasticsearch server.
2. Flexible Configuration: Configure to suit various environment needs.
3. Automated Detailed Data Logging: Automatically captures headers, query parameters, and the request body.
4. Effortless Telemetry: Automatically generates telemetry for monitoring request times.
5. Enhanced Data Control: Limit payload sizes for efficient Elasticsearch indexing.

Installation

To install this middleware, ensure you have Python installed and then run:

pip install fastapi-elasticsearch-middleware

Usage

Configure the middleware by creating a config dictionary in your FastAPI application as follows:

config = {
    'url': 'http://localhost:9200',
    'user': 'elasticsearch_user',
    'password': 'password',
    'index': 'my_app_logs',
    'environment': 'development',
    'limit': True,
    'debug': False
}

The debug parameter prevents sending logs to Elasticsearch.

Integrate the middleware into your FastAPI application like this:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_elasticsearch_middleware.elasticsearch_middleware import ElasticsearchLoggerMiddleware

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(ElasticsearchLoggerMiddleware, config=config)

How It Works

The middleware captures each HTTP request, processes it, and sends log data to your Elasticsearch server based on the configured parameters. It includes detailed logs of request headers, body data, and response metrics.
