Python Slack log handler

Simple Python log handler for Slack using Slack webhooks.

Installation

$ pip install slack_log_handler

Usage

The only required argument for SlackLogHandler is the webhook URL. You can pass the channel, username, or a dictionary of emojis for each log level as named arguments.

Sample usage:

import os
import logging
from slack_log_handler import SlackLogHandler

WEBHOOK_URL = os.getenv('SLACK_URL')

slack_handler = SlackLogHandler(WEBHOOK_URL)
slack_handler.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.addHandler(slack_handler)

logger.error('Oh my god, an error occurred!')

Troubleshooting

On Linux, if you get an error of this kind,

make sure the ca-certificates package (or whatever package your distribution uses instead) is installed.
