Usage

# Import 
from kubi_ecs_logger import Logger, Severity

# Set some defaults in the start of your app
# If in development mode the lib will output formatted json.
Logger().dev = True
# The minimum level of severity for outputing. E.g. If set to INFO then DEBUG logs will not 
# be printed to standard out
Logger().severity_output_level = Severity.INFO
# Set default key/value pairs for the different classes that will always be appended before final output
Logger().defaults = {
    "event": {
        "test": "test value"
    }
}

# Log loaded configuration
Logger().event(
    category="configuration",
    action="configuration loaded",
    dataset="The configuration is loaded from config.yaml"
).out(severity=Severity.INFO)

# Output
# {
#   "@timestamp": "2019-07-11T15:11:03.193759+00:00",
#   "event": {
#     "action": "configuration loaded",
#     "category": "configuration",
#     "dataset": "The configuration is loaded from config.yaml",
#     "test": "test value"  # From defaults
#   },
#   "logline": {
#     "level": "INFO"
#   }
# }

# Here is a little bit bigger example
Logger() \
    .event(category="requests", action="request received") \
    .url(path="/test", domain="test.com") \
    .source(ip="123.251.512.152") \
    .http_response(status_code=200) \
    .out(severity=Severity.INFO)

# And here is the output of this one
# {
#   "@timestamp": "2019-07-11T15:15:48.896921+00:00",
#   "event": {
#     "action": "request received",
#     "category": "requests",
#     "test": "test value"  # From defaults
#   },
#   "httpresponse": {
#     "status_code": "200"
#   },
#   "logline": {
#     "level": "INFO"
#   },
#   "source": {
#     "ip": "123.251.512.152"
#   },
#   "url": {
#     "domain": "test.com",
#     "path": "/test"
#   }
# }
