django-structlog is a structured logging integration for Django project using structlog
Logging will then produce additional cohesive metadata on each logs that makes it easier to track events or incidents.
Django REST framework is supported by default. But when using it with rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication (or other DRF authentications) user_id will be only be in request_finished and request_failed instead of each logs.
See #37 for details.
Celery's task logging requires additional configurations, see documentation for details.
>>> import logging
>>> logger = logging.get_logger(__name__)
>>> logger.info("An error occurred")An error occurredWell... ok
>>> import structlog
>>> logger = structlog.get_logger(__name__)
>>> logger.info("an_error_occurred", bar="Buz")timestamp='2019-04-13T19:39:31.089925Z' level='info' event='an_error_occurred' logger='my_awesome_project.my_awesome_module' request_id='3a8f801c-072b-4805-8f38-e1337f363ed4' user_id=1 ip='0.0.0.0' bar='Buz'Then you can search with commands like:
$ cat logs/flat_line.log | grep request_id='3a8f801c-072b-4805-8f38-e1337f363ed4'>>> import structlog
>>> logger = structlog.get_logger(__name__)
>>> logger.info("an_error_occurred", bar="Buz"){"request_id": "3a8f801c-072b-4805-8f38-e1337f363ed4", "user_id": 1, "ip": "0.0.0.0", "event": "an_error_occurred", "timestamp": "2019-04-13T19:39:31.089925Z", "logger": "my_awesome_project.my_awesome_module", "level": "info", "bar": "Buz"}Then you can search with commands like:
$ cat logs/json.log | jq '.[] | select(.request_id="3a8f801c-072b-4805-8f38-e1337f363ed4")' -sThese steps will show how to integrate the middleware to your awesome application.

import structlog
logger = structlog.get_logger(__name__)By default only a request_id and the user_id are bound from the request but pertinent log metadata may vary from a project to another.
If you need to add more metadata from the request you can implement a convenient signal receiver to bind them. You can also override existing bound metadata the same way.
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django_structlog.signals import bind_extra_request_metadata
@receiver(bind_extra_request_metadata)
def bind_user_email(request, logger, **kwargs):
logger.bind(user_email=getattr(request.user, 'email', ''))It is also possible to log using standard python logger.
See the processor django_structlog.processors.inject_context_dict in the documentation.

- remove
structlog.processors.ExceptionPrettyPrinter(),of your processors. - make sure you have
structlog.processors.format_exc_info,in your processors if you want appropriate exception logging.
Note: For the moment redis is needed to run the tests. The easiest way start docker's demo.
