logging-journald
Pure python logging handler for writing logs to the journald using
native protocol.
import logging
from logging_journald import JournaldLogHandler, check_journal_stream
LOG_HANDLERS = None
if (
check_journal_stream() or
JournaldLogHandler.SOCKET_PATH.exists()
):
LOG_HANDLERS = [JournaldLogHandler()]
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, handlers=LOG_HANDLERS)
logging.info("Hello logging world.")
MESSAGE_ID
field
As defined in catalog documentation:
A 128-bit
message identifier ID for recognizing certain message types, if this is desirable. This should contain a
128-bit ID formatted as a lower-case hexadecimal string, without any separating dashes or suchlike. This is recommended
to be a UUID-compatible ID, but this is not enforced, and formatted differently. Developers can generate a new ID for
this purpose with systemd-id128 new.
So you're free to choose how you want to act. By default, MESSAGE_ID
is generated as a hash of the message and some
static fields. But you can disable this by passing use_message_id=False
to the class constructor.
from logging_journald import JournaldLogHandler
...
handler = JournaldLogHandler(use_message_id=False)
