A library that mimics the standard logging.handlers.SMTPHandler class but sends email messages only when a preconfigured buffer is full or on exit.
Install the program using pip:
pip install buffered_smtp_handler
This library offers two classes: BufferedSMTPHandler and BufferedSMTPHandlerSSL.
They accept the same arguments of the standard SMTPHandler class, and also the capacity argument to set the capacity of the buffer (default: 100).
The SSL version is based on the smtplib.SMTP_SSL and avoids to perform StartSSL.
Via code:
>>> import logging
>>> from pierky.buffered_smtp_handler import BufferedSMTPHandler
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("my_app")
>>> logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
>>> h = BufferedSMTPHandler("smtp.example.com", "from@example.com", ["to@example.com"], "MyApp log", capacity=10)
>>> logger.addHandler(h)
>>> logger.warning("Test")Via a logging configuration file:
