Flask-Graylog

This is a Flask extension that allows you to configure a Graylog log handler as well as configuring middleware to log every request/response to Graylog.

Installation

You can install it via pip:

pip install Flask-Graylog

Usage

You only need to import and initialize your app

# Import dependencies
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.graylog import Graylog

# Configure app and Graylog logger
app = Flask(__name__)
graylog = Graylog(app)

# Log to graylog
graylog.info('Message', extra={
    'extra': 'metadata',
})

# Use graylog log handler in another logger
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.addHandler(graylog.handler)
logger.info('Message')

Configuration options

The following options can be use to configure the graylog logger.

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.graylog import Graylog

app = Flask(__name__)

# Use configuration from `app`
app.config['GRAYLOG_HOST'] = '10.1.1.1'
graylog = Graylog(app)

# Provide configuration
config = {'GRAYLOG_HOST': '10.1.1.1'}
graylog = Graylog(app, config=config)
  • GRAYLOG_HOST - the host to send messages to [default: 'localhost']
  • GRAYLOG_PORT - the port to send messages to [default: 12201]
  • GRAYLOG_FACILITY - the facility to report with [default: 'flask']
  • GRAYLOG_EXTRA_FIELDS - whether or not to include the extra data from each message [default: True]
  • GRAYLOG_ADD_DEBUG_FIELDS - whether extra python debug fields should be added to each message [default: True]
  • GRAYLOG_CONFIGURE_MIDDLEWARE - whether to setup middleware to log each response [default: True]
