Logentries Logger

This is a plugin library to enable logging to Logentries from the Python Logger. Logentries is a real-time log management service on the cloud. More info at https://logentries.com. Note that this plugin is asynchronous.

Setup

To use this library, you must first create an account on Logentries. This will only take a few moments.

Install

To install this library, use the following command:

pip install logentries

Usage

#!/usr/bin/env python

from logentries import LogentriesHandler
import logging

log = logging.getLogger('logentries')
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)
test = LogentriesHandler(LOGENTRIES_TOKEN)

log.addHandler(test)

log.warn("Warning message")
log.info("Info message")

sleep(10)

Configure

The parameter LOGENTRIES_TOKEN needs to be filled in to point to a file in your Logentries account.

In your Logentries account, create a new host, giving it a name that represents your app. Then create a logfile, selecting Token TCP as the source_type. This will print a Token UUID beside the logfile. This is the value to use for LOGENTRIES_TOKEN.

You are now ready to start logging
