This PR implements a Kafka log handler in the existing logging implementation using the Python standard logging library.
With this change, logs will be sent to
SNEWPLOG_TOPIC, currently defined askafka://${HOP_BROKER}/snews.operations, in addition to thesnews_cs.logfile. This feature is the first step in enabling the writing of log messages to the database viaSNEWS_DB_PIPELINE. Log messages can then be shared more widely via theSNEWS_Monitoring_Websiteinterface.Also, the location of the
snews_cs.logfile can now be overridden using aSNEWSLOG_DIRenvironment variable.Open questions: Do we need to control who can see specific log messages? Or are there concerns surrounding sharing log information more widely.
