Description
Simplifies logging for systemd
Requires Python 3.6+
- No need to compile (pure Python), uses
libsystemd.so. - Simplified configuration.
- Just logging. Nothing more.
Usage
import logging
from systemdlogging.toolbox import init_systemd_logging
# This one line in most cases would be enough.
# By default it attaches systemd logging handler to a root Python logger.
init_systemd_logging() # Returns True if initialization went fine.
# Now you can use logging as usual.
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.debug('My debug message')
try:
raise ValueError('Log me please')
except ValueError:
# Additional context can be passed in extra.context.
logger.exception('Something terrible just happened', extra={
'message_id': True, # Generate message ID automatically.
'context': {
'FIELD1': 'one',
'FIELD2': 'two',
}
}, stack_info=True)Read the docs to find out more.
