Installation

logging_utilities is available on PyPI.

Use pip to install:

pip install logging-utilities

Release and Publish

New release and publish on PyPI is done automatically upon PR merge into master branch. For bug fixes and small new features, PR can be directly open on master. Then the PR title define the version bump as follow:

• PR title and/or commit message contains #major => major version is bumped
• PR title and/or commit message contains #patch or head branch name starts with bug-|hotfix-|bugfix- => patch version is bumped
• Otherwise by default the minor version is bumped

Contribution

Every contribution to this library is welcome ! So if you find a bug or want to add a new feature everyone is welcome to open an issue or created a Pull Request.

Any contribution must follow the git-flow.

Developer

You can quickly setup your environment with the makefile:

make setup

This will create a virtual python environment with all packages required for the development.

Note that for pull request, the code MUST BE with yapf formatted and it also MUST PASS the linter. For this you can use the make targets:

make format
make lint
#or
make format-lint

Any new feature should have its unittest class in order to be tested.

Ignore missing log record attribute in formatter

When configuring a log formatter you can provide via print style any log record attribute including extra attributes. However when using extra attribute, if this attribute is then missing (e.g. because the logger did not add that extra) then the logging would raise a ValueError: Formatting field not found in record: ....

For the standard Formatter you could use the Extra Formatter, but if you have any other Formatter you can use the global logging_utilities.log_record.set_log_record_ignore_missing_factory() method.

LogRecordIgnoreMissing

The LogRecordIgnoreMissing factory can be used to avoid ValueError exception when formatting a log message from a log record that don't have the extra required by the formatter.

For example:

import logging

logging.basicConfig(format="%(message)s - %(extra_param)s", level=logging.INFO, force=True)

logger = logging.getLogger('my-logger')

logger.info('My message', extra={'extra_param': 20})
My message - 20

logger.info('My second message')
--- Logging error ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 440, in format
    return self._format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 436, in _format
    return self._fmt % record.__dict__
KeyError: 'extra_param'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 1085, in emit
    msg = self.format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 929, in format
    return fmt.format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 671, in format
    s = self.formatMessage(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 640, in formatMessage
    return self._style.format(record)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 442, in format
    raise ValueError('Formatting field not found in record: %s' % e)
ValueError: Formatting field not found in record: 'extra_param'
...

To avoid such crash you can use LogRecordIgnoreMissing that will replace missing extra attributes by an empty string in the message.

import logging
from logging_utilities.log_record import LogRecordIgnoreMissing

logging.setLogRecordFactory(LogRecordIgnoreMissing)

logging.basicConfig(format="%(message)s - %(extra_param)s", level=logging.INFO, force=True)

logger = logging.getLogger('my-logger')

logger.info('My message', extra={'extra_param': 20})
My message - 20

logger.info('My second message')
My second message -

You can also change the default value by using the helper set_log_record_ignore_missing_factory()

import logging
from logging_utilities.log_record import set_log_record_ignore_missing_factory

set_log_record_ignore_missing_factory('my-default')

logging.basicConfig(format="%(message)s - %(extra_param)s", level=logging.INFO, force=True)

logger = logging.getLogger('my-logger')

logger.info('My message', extra={'extra_param': 20})
My message - 20

logger.info('My second message')
My second message - my-default

:warning: NOTE that setting the log record factory is a global action that affects every logger and formatter

Logging Context

With set_logging_context() you can add a thread based context to every log record. This can be quite usefull if you want to globally set a context to every log record, for example a Request context in a Pyramid/Django application.

Logging Context example with Pyramid

In a Pyramid application it is quite usefull to add to every log record the Request context. This can be done as follow:

# module my_app.logging_tweens
from logging_utilities.context import set_logging_context


def logging_context_tween(handler, registry):

    def _logging_context_tween(request):
        set_logging_context({
            "request": {
                "method": request.method,
                "path": request.path,
                "headers": dict(request.headers)
            }
        })
        return handler(request)

    return _logging_context_tween

# MAIN
import logging
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.response import Response

logging.basicConfig(format="%(message)s - %(context)s")

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def hello_world(request):
    logger.debug('Request for hello world')
    return Response('Hello World!')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with Configurator() as config:
        # Register the tween
        config.add_tween('my_app.logging_tweens.logging_context_tween')

        # Configure the route and view
        config.add_route('hello', '/')
        config.add_view(hello_world, route_name='hello')
        app = config.make_wsgi_app()
    server = make_server('0.0.0.0', 6543, app)
    server.serve_forever()

# A GET / request would produce the following log
'Request for hello world - {"request": {"method": "GET", "path": "/", "headers": {}}}'

For more information on Pyramid Tweens see Registering Tween

JSON Formatter

JsonFormatter is a python logging formatter that transform the log output into a json object.

JSON log format is quite useful especially when the logs are sent to LogStash.

This formatter supports embedded object as well as array.

Configure JSON Format

The format can be configured either using the format config parameter or the fmt constructor parameter. This parameter should be a dictionary (for Python version below 3.7, it is better to use OrderedDict to keep the attribute order). Each key is taken as such as key for the output JSON object, while each value is transformed as follow in the output:

:warning: If the value doesn't match any of the table above it will raise a ValueError unless you specify ignore_missing=True in the configuration

You can find the LogRecord attributes list in Python Doc

See below the Basic Usage for more examples.

JSON Formatter Options

You can change some behavior using the JsonFormatter constructor:

The constructor parameters can be also be specified in the log configuration file using the () class specifier instead of class:

formatters:
  json:
    (): logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter.JsonFormatter
    add_always_extra: True
    fmt:
      time: asctime
      level: levelname
      logger: name
      module: module
      message: message

:warning: When using the INI file format like documented here, you cannot use the JSON formatter options describe above and have to use the formatter using the class, format, datefmt and style attributes like below

[formatters]
keys = my_json

[formatter_my_json]
class = logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter.JsonFormatter
format: {
        "time": "asctime",
        "level": "levelname",
        "logger": "name",
        "module": "module",
        "function": "funcName",
        "pid_tid": "%(process)x/%(thread)x",
        "message": "message",
        "exc_info": "exc_info"
    } # OPTIONAL
datefmt = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M # OPTIONAL
style = % # OPTIONAL

JSON Output - Type Consistency

When you use ignore_missing=True, all missing attributes from the log record will be replaced by an empty string. This can be an issue if you require type consistency accross JSON logs. To avoid this, you can use the trailing dot notation.

This is quite usefull if you want to add a list or an object in your JSON from a LogRecord that might be missing. For example when using the Flask Request Context and you want to add the headers dictionary as object, you can do as follow:

fmt={"message": "message", "request": {"headers": "flask_request_headers."}}

This way if the log record is outside a Flask request, your log output would be

{"message": "this is the message", "request": {"headers": {}}}

instead of

{"message": "this is the message", "request": {"headers": ""}}

and when the record is within a Flask context you will have

{"message": "this is the message", "request": {"headers": {"Host": "www.example.com", ...}}}

Extra Formatter

This formatter enhance the python standard formatter to allow working with the log extra. When adding an extra keyword in the format, the python standard formatter raises a ValueError() when this keyword is missing from log record. This means that if you want to display a log extra, you have to make sure that every log message contains this extra.

This formatter allow you to provide an extra_fmt parameter that will add record extra to the log message when available. You can either add the entire extra dictionary: extra_fmt='%s' or only some extras: extra_fmt='%(extra1)s:%(extra2)s'. In the latest case, when a key is missing in extra, the value is replaced by extra_default.

When using the whole extra dictionary, you can use extra_pretty_print to improve the formatting, note that in this case the log might be on multiline (this use pprint.pformat).

See logging.Logger.debug for more infos on the logging extra

Extra Formatter Constructor

Support the same arguments as the logging.Formatter plus the followings:

Extra Formatter Config Example

formatters:
  standard:
    (): logging_utilities.formatters.extra_formatter.ExtraFormatter
    format: "%(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s"
    extra_fmt: " - extra:\n%s"
    extra_pretty_print: True

NOTE: ExtraFormatter only support the special key '()' factory in the configuration file (it doesn't work with the normal 'class' key).

Flask Request Context

When using logging within a Flask application, you can use this Filter to add some context attributes to all LogRecord.

All Flask Request attributes are supported and they are added as LogRecord with the flask_request_ prefix. See Flask Request for more details on available attributes.

Flask Request Context Filter Constructor

Flask Request Context Config Example

version: 1

root:
  handlers:
    - console
  level: DEBUG
  propagate: True

filters:
  flask:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.flask_attribute.FlaskRequestAttribute
    attributes:
      - url
      - method
      - headers
      - json

formatters:
  console:
    format: "%(asctime)s - %(message)s - %(flask_request_url)s %(flask_request_method)s %(flask_request_headers)s: %(flask_request_json)s"

handlers:
  console:
    class: logging.StreamHandler
    formatter: console
    stream: ext://sys.stdout
    filters:
      - flask

NOTE: FlaskRequestAttribute only support the special key '()' factory in the configuration file (it doesn't work with the normal 'class' key).

Jsonify Django Request

If you want to log the Django HttpRequest object using the JSON Formatter, this filter is for made for you. It converts the record.http_request attribute (or the attribute specified by attr_key in the constructor) to a valid json object if it is of type HttpRequest.

The HttpRequest attributes that are converted can be configured using the include_keys and/or exclude_keys filter parameters. This can be useful if you want to limit the log data, for example if you don't want to log Authentication headers.

:warning: The django framework adds sometimes an HttpRequest or socket object under record.request when logging. So if you decide to use the attribute name request for this filter, beware that you will need to handle the case where the attribute is of type socket separately, for example by filtering it out using the attribute type filter. (see example Filter out LogRecord attributes based on their types)

Usage

Add the filter to the log handler and then add simply the HttpRequest to the log extra as follow:

logger.info('My message', extra={'http_request': request})

Django Request Filter Constructor

Django Request Config Example

filters:
  django:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.django_request.JsonDjangoRequest
    attr_key: 'http_request' # This is the default, so it can be omitted
    include_keys:
      - http_request.META.REQUEST_METHOD
      - http_request.META.SERVER_NAME
      - http_request.environ
    exclude_keys:
      - http_request.META.SERVER_NAME
      - http_request.environ.wsgi

NOTE: JsonDjangoRequest only support the special key '()' factory in the configuration file (it doesn't work with the normal 'class' key).

Filter out LogRecord attributes based on their types

If different libraries or different parts of your code log different object types under the same logRecord extra attribute, you can use this filter to keep only some of them (whitelist mode) or filter out some of them (blacklist mode).

Attribute Type Filter Constructor

Attribute Type Filter Config Example

filters:
  type_filter:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.attr_type_filter.AttrTypeFilter
    is_blacklist: False # Default value is false, so this could be left out
    typecheck_list:
      # For each attribute listed, one type or a list of types can be specified
      request: # can only be a toplevel attribute (no dotted keys allowed)
        - django.http.request.HttpRequest # Can be a class name only or the full dotted path
        - builtins.dict
      my_attr: myClass

ISO Time with Timezone

The standard logging doesn't support the time as ISO with timezone; YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss±hh:mm. By default asctime uses a ISO like format; YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.sss, but without T separator (although this one could be configured by overriding a global variable, this can't be done by config file). You can use the datefmt option to specify another date format, however this one don't supports milliseconds, so you could achieve this format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm.

This Filter can be used to achieve the full ISO 8601 Time format including timezone and milliseconds.

ISO Time Filter Constructor

ISO Time Config Example

filters:
  isotime:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.TimeAttribute
    utc_isotime: True
    isotime: False

NOTE: TimeAttribute only support the special key '()' factory in the configuration file (it doesn't work with the normal 'class' key).

Constant Record Attribute

Simple logging Filter to add constant attribute to every LogRecord

Constant Record Attribute Config Example

filters:
  application:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.ConstAttribute
    application: my-application

NOTE: ConstAttribute only support the special key '()' factory in the configuration file (it doesn't work with the normal 'class' key).

Logger Level Filter

Sometimes you might want to have different log Level based on the logger and handler. The standard logging library allow to set a logger level or a handler level but not based on both. Let say you have a config with two loggers logging to two handlers, on the first handler you want all messages of both loggers and on the second handler you want all messages of the first logger but only the WARNING messages of the second logger. This is here were this filter come into play.

Logger Level Filter Constructor

Logger Level Filter Config Example

root:
  handlers:
    - "console"
    - "file"
  level: "DEBUG"
  propagate: "True"

filters:
  B_filter:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.LevelFilter
    level: "WARNING"
    logger: 'B'

loggers:
  A:
    level: "DEBUG"
  B:
    level: "DEBUG"

handlers:
  console:
    class: "logging.StreamHandler"

  file:
    class: "logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler"
    filters:
      - "B_filter"

NOTE: LevelFilter only support the special key '()' factory in the configuration file (it doesn't work with the normal 'class' key).

Basic Usage

Case 1. Simple JSON Output

import logging

from logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter import basic_config

# default keyword parameter `format`: """{"levelname": "levelname", "name": "name", "message": "message"}"""
basic_config(level=logging.INFO)
logging.info('hello, json_formatter')

output:

{"levelname": "INFO", "name": "root", "message": "hello, json_formatter"}

Case 2. JSON Output Configured within Python Code

import logging

from logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter import JsonFormatter

# `FORMAT` can be `json`, `OrderedDict` or `dict`.
# If `FORMAT` is `dict` and python version < 3.7.0, the output order is sorted by keys, otherwise it will be the same
# as the defined order.
#
# KEY := string, can be whatever you like.
# VALUE := `LogRecord` attribute name, string, formatted string (e.g. "%(asctime)s.%(msecs)s"), list or dict
FORMAT = {
    "Name":            "name",
    "Levelno":         "levelno",
    "Levelname":       "levelname",
    "Pathname":        "pathname",
    "Filename":        "filename",
    "Module":          "module",
    "Lineno":          "lineno",
    "FuncName":        "funcName",
    "Created":         "created",
    "Asctime":         "asctime",
    "Msecs":           "msecs",
    "RelativeCreated": "relativeCreated",
    "Thread":          "thread",
    "ThreadName":      "threadName",
    "Process":         "process",
    "Message":         "message"
}

root = logging.getLogger()
root.setLevel(logging.INFO)

formatter = JsonFormatter(FORMAT)

sh = logging.StreamHandler()
sh.setFormatter(formatter)
sh.setLevel(logging.INFO)

root.addHandler(sh)

def test():
  root.info("test %s format", 'string')

test()

output:

{
  "Name": "root", 
  "Levelno": 20, 
  "Levelname": "INFO", 
  "Pathname": "test.py", 
  "Filename": "test.py", 
  "Module": "test", 
  "Lineno": 75, 
  "FuncName": "test", 
  "Created": 1588185267.3198836, 
  "Asctime": "2020-04-30 02:34:27,319", 
  "Msecs": 319.8835849761963, 
  "RelativeCreated": 88.2880687713623, 
  "Thread": 16468, 
  "ThreadName": "MainThread", 
  "Process": 16828, 
  "Message": "test string format"
}

Case 3. JSON Output Configured with a YAML File

config.yaml:

version: 1

root:
  handlers:
    - console
  level: DEBUG
  propagate: True

formatters:
  json:
    class: logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter.JsonFormatter
    format:
      time: asctime
      level: levelname
      logger: name
      module: module
      function: funcName
      process: process
      thread: thread
      message: message

handlers:
  console:
    class: logging.StreamHandler
    formatter: json
    stream: ext://sys.stdout

Then in your python code use it as follow:

import logging
import logging.config

import yaml


config = {}
with open('example-config.yaml', 'r') as fd:
    config = yaml.safe_load(fd.read())

logging.config.dictConfig(config)

root = logging.getLogger()
root.info('Test file config')

output:

{
  "function": "<module>", 
  "level": "INFO", 
  "logger": "root", 
  "message": "Test file config", 
  "module": "<stdin>", 
  "process": 12264, 
  "thread": 139815989413696, 
  "time": "asctime"
}

Case 4. Add Flask Request Context Attributes to JSON Output

config.yaml

version: 1

root:
  handlers:
    - console
  level: DEBUG
  propagate: True

filters:
  isotime:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.TimeAttribute
  flask:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.flask_attribute.FlaskRequestAttribute
    attributes:
      - url
      - method
      - headers
      - remote_addr
      - json

formatters:
  json:
    class: logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter.JsonFormatter
    format:

      logger: name
      module: module
      function: funcName
      process: process
      thread: thread
      request:
        # We use the "%()s" notation here to ensure a string output and also if the LogRecord has
        # no flask context, meaning no `flask_request_url` attribute, the "%()s" notation ensure
        # to have an empty string instead of treating `flask_request_url` as a string constant.
        url: "%(flask_request_url)s"
        method: "%(flask_request_method)s"
        # We use a trailing dot here to ensure to have a dictionary output even if the LogRecord 
        # doesn't have a flask_request_headers attribute.
        headers: flask_request_headers.
        data: flask_request_json.
        remote: "%(flask_request_remote_addr)s"
      message: message

handlers:
  console:
    class: logging.StreamHandler
    formatter: json
    stream: ext://sys.stdout
    filters:
      - isotime
      - flask

NOTE: This require to have flask package installed otherwise it raises ImportError

Then in your python code use it as follow:

import logging
import logging.config

import yaml
from flask import Flask


config = {}
with open('example-config.yaml', 'r') as fd:
    config = yaml.safe_load(fd.read())

logging.config.dictConfig(config)

app = Flask('test')

root = logging.getLogger()

with app.test_request_context("path/test", method='GET', headers={"Accept": "*/*"}):
  root.info('Test file config')

output:

{
  "time": "2022-07-20T10:09:10.765237+02:00", 
  "level": "INFO",
  "logger": "root", 
  "module": "<stdin>", 
  "function": "<module>", 
  "process": 58043, 
  "thread": 139717802334016,

    formatter: json
    stream: ext://sys.stdout
    filters:
      - isotime
      - django

from django.conf import settings
from django.test import RequestFactory


config = {}
with open('example-config.yaml', 'r') as fd:
    config = yaml.safe_load(fd.read())

logging.config.dictConfig(config)

logger = logging.getLogger('your_logger')

def my_page(request):
    answer = {'success': True}
    logger.info('My page requested', extra={'request': request, 'response': answer})
    return JsonResponse(answer)

settings.configure()
factory = RequestFactory()

my_page(factory.get('/my_page?test=true'))

output:

  "function": "my_page", 
  "level": "INFO", 
  "logger": "your_logger", 
  "message": "My page requested", 
  "module": "<stdin>", 
  "process": 20421, 
  "request": {
    "method": "GET", 
    "path": "/my_page", 
    "headers": {
      "Cookie": ""
    }
  }, 
  "response": {
    "success": true
  },

}

Case 6. Add parts of Django Request to JSON Output

Let's say you want to log parts of the django HttpRequest in Json format. Django already logs it sometimes under record.request so you can use the django request filter to transform it to a jsonisable dictionary. However django sometimes also logs an object of type socket.socket that you may not want to include in the logs. In this case you could use the following configuration. This will only keep the request attribute if it is of type HttpRequest.

config.yaml

version: 1

root:
  handlers:
    - console
  level: DEBUG
  propagate: True

filters:
  type_filter:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.attr_type_filter.AttrTypeFilter
    typecheck_list:
      request: django.http.request.HttpRequest
  isotime:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.TimeAttribute
  django:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.django_request.JsonDjangoRequest
    attr_name: request
    include_keys:
      - request.path
      - request.method
      - request.headers

formatters:
  json:
    class: logging_utilities.formatters.json_formatter.JsonFormatter
    format:
      time: isotime
      level: levelname
      logger: name
      module: module
      function: funcName
      process: process
      thread: thread
      request_path: request.path
      request_method: request.method
      request:
        # NOTE: django headers name are case sensitive
        header.accept: request.headers.Accept
        header.accept-encoding: request.headers.Accept-Encoding 
        header.accept_language: request.headers.Accept-Language 
      message: message

handlers:
  console:
    class: logging.StreamHandler
    formatter: json
    stream: ext://sys.stdout
    filters:
      - isotime
      # Typefilter must be before django filter, as the django filter
      # will modify the type of the "HttpRequest" object
      - type_filter
      - django

NOTE: This require to have django package installed otherwise it raises ImportError

Then in your python code use it as follow:

import logging
import logging.config

import yaml

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.conf import settings
from django.test import RequestFactory


config = {}
with open('example-config.yaml', 'r') as fd:
    config = yaml.safe_load(fd.read())

logging.config.dictConfig(config)

logger = logging.getLogger('your_logger')

def my_page(request):
    answer = {'success': True}
    logger.info('My page requested', extra={'request': request})
    return JsonResponse(answer)

settings.configure()
factory = RequestFactory()

my_page(factory.get(
    '/my_page?test=true', 
    HTTP_ACCEPT='*/*', 
    HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING='gzip', 
    HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE='en')
)

output:

{
  "time": "2022-07-20T12:29:19.536922+02:00",
  "level": "INFO",
  "logger": "your_logger",
  "module": "<stdin>",
  "function": "my_page",
  "process": 78479,
  "thread": 139751209555776,
  "request_path": "/my_page",
  "request_method": "GET",
  "request": {
    "header.accept": "*/*",
    "header.accept-encoding": "gzip",
    "header.accept_language": "en"
  },
  "message": "My page requested"
}

Case 7. Add all Log Extra as Dictionary to the Standard Formatter (including Django log extra)

config.yaml

version: 1

root:
  handlers:
    - console
  level: DEBUG
  propagate: True

filters:
  type_filter:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.attr_type_filter.AttrTypeFilter
    typecheck_list:
      request: django.http.request.HttpRequest
  isotime:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.TimeAttribute
  django:
    (): logging_utilities.filters.django_request.JsonDjangoRequest
    attr_name: request
    include_keys:
      - request.path
      - request.method
      - request.headers
    exclude_keys:
      - request.headers.Authorization
      - request.headers.Proxy-Authorization

formatters:
  standard_extra:
    (): logging_utilities.formatters.extra_formatter.ExtraFormatter
    # NOTE also in the constructor the parameter is `fmt` we need to use `format` here
    format: "%(isotime)s - %(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s"
    extra_fmt: " - extra:\n%s"
    extra_pretty_print: True
    pretty_print_kwargs:
      indent: 2
      width: 60

handlers:
  console:
    class: logging.StreamHandler
    formatter: standard_extra
    stream: ext://sys.stdout
    filters:
      - isotime
      # Type filter must be before django filter
      - type_filter
      - django

NOTE: This require to have django package installed otherwise it raises ImportError

Then in your python code use it as follow:

#!.venv/bin/python3
import logging
import logging.config

import yaml

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.conf import settings
from django.test import RequestFactory


config = {}
with open('example-config.yaml', 'r') as fd:
    config = yaml.safe_load(fd.read())

logging.config.dictConfig(config)

logger = logging.getLogger('your_logger')

def my_page(request):
    answer = {'success': True}
    logger.info('My page requested', extra={'request': request, 'response': answer})
    return JsonResponse(answer)

settings.configure()
factory = RequestFactory()

my_page(factory.get('/my_page?test=true'))

output:

2020-11-19T13:32:58.942568+01:00 - INFO - your_logger - My page requested - extra:
{ 'request': { 'headers': {'Cookie': ''},
               'method': 'GET',
               'path': '/my_page'},
  'response': {'success': True}}

Case 8. Add Specific Log Extra to the Standard Formatter

config.yaml

version: 1

root:
  handlers:
    - console
  level: DEBUG
  propagate: True

formatters:
  standard_extra:
    (): logging_utilities.formatters.extra_formatter.ExtraFormatter
    # NOTE also in the constructor the parameter is `fmt` we need to use `format` here
    format: "%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(name)s - %(message)s"
    extra_fmt: " - extra1=%(extra1)s"

handlers:
  console:
    class: logging.StreamHandler
    formatter: standard_extra
    stream: ext://sys.stdout

Then in your python code use it as follow:

#!.venv/bin/python3
import logging
import logging.config

import yaml

config = {}
with open('example-config.yaml', 'r') as fd:
    config = yaml.safe_load(fd.read())

logging.config.dictConfig(config)

logger = logging.getLogger('your_logger')

logger.debug('My log with extras', extra={'extra1': 23, 'extra2': "don't add this"})

output:

2020-11-19 13:42:29,424 - DEBUG - your_logger - My log with extras - extra1=23

Breaking Changes

Version 4.x.x Breaking Changes

From version 3.x.x to version 4.x.x there is the following breaking change:

• The django request filter by default now reads the attribute record.http_request instead of the attribute record.request. There is however a new option attr_name in the filters constructor to manually specify the attribute name. See the example Add parts of Django Request to JSON Output for an example on how to use attr_name to be backward-compatible with 3.x.x

Version 3.x.x Breaking Changes

From version 2.x.x to version 3.x.x there is the following breaking change:

• JSON Formatter doesn't support anymore string constant in the fmt parameter. Now if you want to have a string constant in all of you JSON logs output, you need to use the Constant Record Attribute Filter.

Version 2.x.x Breaking Changes

From version 1.x.x to version 2.x.x there is the following breaking change:

• Flask Attribute filter do not set anymore missing Flask attribute to empty string ! So if you configure the Flask attribute you must make sure that all attribute specified in the attribute list, exists. Also if you use the filter on a logger outside of a Flask Request context, the logger will raise a ValueError exception due to the missing Flask Request attribute. To avoid this you can use the new LogRecordIgnoreMissing.
