Logging handler to ships logs to RabbitMQ. Compatible with Django.

## Installation
Install using pip.

```sh
pip install python_logging_rabbitmq
```

### Versions

| Version      | Dependency      |

## Handlers
This package has two built-in handlers that you can import as follows:

```python
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler
```

or (thanks to [@wallezhang](https://github.com/wallezhang))

```python
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandlerOneWay
```

| Handler               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
|-----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| RabbitMQHandler       | Basic handler for sending logs to RabbitMQ. Every record will be delivered directly to RabbitMQ using the exchange configured.                                                                                                                                                               |
| RabbitMQHandlerOneWay | High throughput handler. Initializes an internal queue where logs are stored temporarily. A thread is used to deliver the logs to RabbitMQ using the exchange configured. Your app doesn't need to wait until the log is delivered. Notice that if the main thread dies you might lose logs. |

## Standalone python
To use with python first create a logger for your app, then create an instance of the handler and add it to the logger created.

```python
import logging
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler

logger = logging.getLogger('myapp')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(host='localhost', port=5672)
logger.addHandler(rabbit)

logger.debug('test debug')
```

As result, a similar message as follows will be sent to RabbitMQ:

```json
{
	"relativeCreated":280.61580657958984,
	"process":13105,
	"args":[],
	"module":"test",
	"funcName":"<module>",
	"host":"albertomr86-laptop",
	"exc_text":null,
	"name":"myapp",
	"thread":140032818181888,
	"created":1482290387.454017,
	"threadName":"MainThread",
	"msecs":454.01692390441895,
	"filename":"test.py",
	"levelno":10,
	"processName":"MainProcess",
	"pathname":"test.py",
	"lineno":11,
	"msg":"test debug",
	"exc_info":null,
	"levelname":"DEBUG"
}
```

## Sending logs
By default, logs will be sent to RabbitMQ using the exchange **'log'**, this should be of **type topic**. The **routing key** used is formed by concatenating the *logger name* and the *log level*. For example:

```python
import logging
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler

logger = logging.getLogger('myapp')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(RabbitMQHandler(host='localhost', port=5672))

logger.info('test info')
logger.debug('test debug')
logger.warning('test warning')
```

The messages will be sent using the following routing keys:
- myapp.INFO
- myapp.DEBUG
- myapp.WARNING

For an explanation about topics and routing keys go to https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-python.html

When create the handler, you're able to specify different parameters in order to connect to RabbitMQ or configure the handler behavior.

## Overriding routing-key creation

If you wish to override routing-key format entirely, you can pass
`routing_key_formatter` function which takes `LogRecord` objects and returns
routing-key. For example:

```python
RabbitMQHandler(
	host='localhost',
	port=5672,
	routing_key_formatter=lambda r: (
		'some_exchange_prefix.{}'.format(r.levelname.lower())
	)
)
```

### Examples
#### RabbitMQ Connection

```python
rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(
	host='localhost',
	port=5672,
	username='guest',
	password='guest',
	connection_params={
		'virtual_host': '/',
		'connection_attempts': 3,
		'socket_timeout': 5000
	}
)
```

#### Custom fields

```python
rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(
	host='localhost',
	port=5672,
	fields={
		'source': 'MyApp',
		'env': 'production'
	},
	fields_under_root=True
)
```

#### Custom formatter
By default, python_logging_rabbitmq implements a custom JSONFormatter; but if you prefer to format your own message you could do it as follow:

```python
import logging
from python_logging_rabbitmq import RabbitMQHandler

FORMAT = '%(asctime)-15s %(message)s'
formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt=FORMAT)
rabbit = RabbitMQHandler(formatter=formatter)
```

For a custom JSON Formatter take a look at https://github.com/madzak/python-json-logger

## Django
To use with Django add the handler in the [logging config](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/logging/#configuring-logging).

```python
LOGGING = {
	'version': 1,
	'disable_existing_loggers': False,
	'handlers': {
		'rabbit': {
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
			'host': 'localhost'
		}
	},
	'loggers': {
		'myapp': {
			'handlers': ['rabbit'],
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'propagate': False
		}
	}
}
```

## Configuration
Same as when use it with standalone python, you could configure the handle directly when declaring it in the config:

```python
LOGGING = {
	'version': 1,
	'disable_existing_loggers': False,
	'handlers': {
		'rabbit': {
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
			'host': 'localhost',
			'port': 5672,
			'username': 'guest',
			'password': 'guest',
			'exchange': 'log',
			'declare_exchange': False,
			'connection_params': {
				'virtual_host': '/',
				'connection_attempts': 3,
				'socket_timeout': 5000
			},
			'fields': {
				'source': 'MainAPI',
				'env': 'production'
			},
			'fields_under_root': True
		}
	},
	'loggers': {
		'myapp': {
			'handlers': ['rabbit'],
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'propagate': False
		}
	}
}
```

#### Custom formatter

```python
LOGGING = {
	'version': 1,
	'disable_existing_loggers': False,
	'formatters': {
		'standard': {
			'format': '%(levelname)-8s [%(asctime)s]: %(message)s'
		}
	},
	'handlers': {
		'rabbit': {
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
			'host': 'localhost',
			'formatter': 'standard'
		}
	},
	'loggers': {
		'myapp': {
			'handlers': ['rabbit'],
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'propagate': False
		}
	}
}
```

#### JSON formatter

```sh
pip install python-json-logger
```

```python
LOGGING = {
	'version': 1,
	'disable_existing_loggers': False,
	'formatters': {
		'json': {
			'()': 'pythonjsonlogger.jsonlogger.JsonFormatter',
			'fmt': '%(name)s %(levelname) %(asctime)s %(message)s'
		}
	},
	'handlers': {
		'rabbit': {
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'class': 'python_logging_rabbitmq.RabbitMQHandler',
			'host': 'localhost',
			'formatter': 'json'
		}
	},
	'loggers': {
		'myapp': {
			'handlers': ['rabbit'],
			'level': 'DEBUG',
			'propagate': False
		}
	}
}
```
