Flask-Logify

Advanced Logging configuration for flask application based on yaml or json file. See logging.config

NOTE: If you want to use flask_logify.handlers.FlaskSysLogHandler you must init this extension with an app context.

The dump of request or response are made by builders, there are two concrete implementations:

1. LogTextBuilder: message as plain text (configurable).
2. LogJSONBuilder: message as json format.

You can create your own builder by extending class LogBuilder. In order to get the correct remote address you can override LogBuilder.get_remote_address method or you can inject a function in LogBuilder constructor.

See example usage in example/test.py.

FlaskLogging as a decorator attribute with which you can disable log messages for a specific route, passing a logging filter to it. For example you want disable log for health check endpoint. See example/text.py.

Quickstart

Install flask_logify using pip:

$ pip install Flask-Logify

Example usage

An example of log file configuration is under example folder.

Only yaml or json format are supported.

from flask import Flask
from flask_logify import FlaskLogging


app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['LOG_FILE_CONF'] = 'log.yaml'
app.config['LOG_LOGGER_NAME'] = 'flask-development'

logging = FlaskLogging()
with app.app_context():
    logging.init_app(app)

app.run()

Go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ and see log messages like configured
