================= Logentries Logger

This is a plugin library to enable logging to Logentries from the Python Logger. Logentries is a real-time log management service on the cloud. More info at https://logentries.com.

Setup

To use this library, you must first create an account on Logentries. This will only take a few moments.

Install

To install this library, use the following command:

pip install git+git://github.com/logentries/le_python.git

Usage

#!/usr/bin/env python

from logentries import LogentriesHandler
import logging

log = logging.getLogger('logentries')

test = LogentriesHandler(LOGENTRIES_TOKEN)

log.addHandler(test)
log.setLevel(logging.INFO)    #WARN by default
log.warn("Warning message")

Configure

The parameter LOGENTRIES_TOKEN needs to be filled in to point to a file in your Logentries account.

In your Logentries account, create a new host, giving it a name that represents your app. Then create a logfile, selecting Token TCP as the source_type. This will print a Token UUID beside the logfile. This is the value to use for LOGENTRIES_TOKEN.

You are now ready to start logging
