Introduction

This recipe creates the program daemon (logger) which is listening to the socket. It generates logs in an appropriate format (JSON, CSV, PICKLE).

Example usage

The simplest way to use this recipe is to add it to your buildout.cfg like this:

[buildout]
parts = logger

[logger]
recipe = collective.recipe.logger

Go to collective/recipe/logger/README.rst to see more details.

Development

• Code repository: https://github.com/potar/collective.recipe.logger
• The code comes with a buildout.cfg. Please bootstrap the buildout and run the created bin/test to see if the tests still pass. Please add tests if you add code.
• Questions and comments send to the Plone product-developers list or to potar: poburynnyitaras@gmail.com

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options (none of which are needed by default):

ip

It's a host ip. Default value: localhost

port

It's an application (daemon) port. Default value: 8090 (DEFAULT_TCP_LOGGING_PORT)

maxlen

It's a circular buffer size. Default value: 100. It means that you can store 100 records into storage.

mode

It's file mode bits which is intended to the file storage. Default value: 0644

format

It's a storage type. Options: 'csv', 'json', 'pickle'. Default value: 'json'

eggs

It sets up additional products. They help serialize objects. For example, your object will not be a standard python collection so you need an appropriate class for this object. If you use Plone I recommend you set up eggs = ${instance:eggs}

Notes

• A storage filename is generated by id_generator (src/collective/recipe/logger/utils.py).
