A logging handler for publishing the logs to Cloud Pub/Sub

Project description

A logging handler for publishing the logs to Cloud Pub/Sub.

pypi build

You can use the pubsub_logging.PubsubHandler to publish the logs to Cloud Pub/Sub. You can use this module with the standard Python logging module.

Supported version

Python 2.7 is supported.

Installation

$ pip install pubsub-logging

How to use

Here is an example configuration file.

[loggers]
keys=root

[handlers]
keys=pubsubHandler

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=NOTSET
handlers=pubsubHandler

[handler_pubsubHandler]
class=pubsub_logging.PubsubHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=('projects/tmatsuo-pubsub-sample/topics/log-topic', 1000)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s

How to use this config file.

logging.config.fileConfig(os.path.join('examples', 'logging.conf'))
logger = logging.getLogger('root')
logger.info('This message will be buffered')
logger.critical('This message will be flushed.')

Here is a dynamic usage example.

pubsub_handler = PubsubHandler(topic=topic)
pubsub_handler.setFormatter(
    logging.Formatter(
        '%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'))

logger = logging.getLogger('root')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(pubsub_handler)
logger.info('This message will be buffered')
logger.critical('This message will be flushed.')

The logs are buffered by default, and when the buffer is full, or when the message has a log level higher or equal to flush_level, the buffered logs will be flushed and sent to Cloud Pub/Sub.

Authentication

The module uses the Application Default Credentials. You can configure the authentication as follows.

Authentication on App Engine

It should work out of the box. If you’re getting an authorization error, please make sure that your App Engine service account has an Editor or greater permission on your Cloud project.

Authentication on Google Compute Engine

When creating a new instance, please add the Cloud Pub/Sub scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/pubsub to the service account of the instance.

Authentication anywhere else

As the documentation suggests, create a new service account and download its JSON key file, then set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS pointing to the JSON key file. Please note that this service account must have Editor or greater permissions on your Cloud project.
