Django-Splunk-Logging

About

Django-Splunk-Logging implements a singleton data format and pipes your events into splunk enterprise by utilizing the HTTP Event Collector.

SplunkEvent Example

def update_name_api(request):
    user = request.user
    user.name = request.GET['name']
    user.save()
    from django_splunk_logging import SplunkEvent
    SplunkEvent(key="User_event",
                request=request,
                name="name_change",
                obj=user,
                user=user)
    return "Success!"

This will send an event into splunk with the sourcetype 'User_event':

{
    auth:  true,
    user:  303,
    event:  name_change,
    eventData: {
      name:"NEW NAME",
      email:"USER@MAIL.COM"
      **other user model data**
   },
    request: {
      GET: {
        api_key:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
     },
     POST: {
         name: "NEW NAME"
     },
      META: {
        CLIENT:  iPhone,
        HTTP_HOST:  website.com,
        HTTP_REFERER:  null,
        HTTP_USER_AGENT:  iPhone; iOS 9.2.1; Scale/2.00,
        HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR:  70.196.185.31 
     } 
      host:  website.com,
      method:  POST,
      path:  /auth/profile/?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
   } 
}

Logging Example

Also contained is a logging handler that you can set up in your django settings to insert logging messages that are raised throughout your application.

def api_function(request):
    if request.GET.get('special', None):
        logging.info("Special function is firing!")
        ...

This will out throw an event into splunk with the sourcetype 'server_log':

{
    auth:  true
    event:  INFO 
    eventData: {
      line:  539 
      message:  "Special function is firing!"
      method:  api_function 
      module:  the_api_module 
      path:  /path/to/the_api_module.py
   } 
    request: {
      GET: { 
      special: true,
      api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     } 
      META: {
      ... 
     } 
      Version:  1.0.14 
      host:  website.com 
      method:  GET 
      path:  /api/function/?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
   } 
    user:  303 
}

Exception example

This handler also works with raising an exception:

class InvalidParameter(Exception):
    http_response_code = 400
    def __init__(self, message=None, **kwargs):
        super(InvalidParameter, self).__init__(message)

def location(request):
    if not request.GET.get('lat', None) or not request.GET.get('lng', None):
        raise InvalidParameter("Must supply lat and lng")

Will send data to splunk as well:

{
    auth:  false 
    event:  ERROR 
    eventData: {
      line:  322 
      message:  Must supply lat and lng
      method:  location
      module:  location_api
      path:  /path/to/location_api.py
      response_code:  400 
      traceback:  Traceback (most recent call last):

   } 
    request: {
      GET: {
        api_key:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
        lat:  0.0 
     } 
      META: { [-]

     }
