Dependencies

Requires Python 3.7 or higher and a requests HTTP library. No other dependencies to conflict with your app.

Installing With pip

pip3 install --upgrade usagelogger

Logging From AIOHTTP

from aiohttp import web
from usagelogger.aiohttp import HttpLoggerForAIOHTTP

async def test(request):
    return web.Response(text="Hello")

app = web.Application(
    middlewares=[
        HttpLoggerForAIOHTTP(
            url="http://localhost:4001/message", rules="include debug"
        )
    ]
)
app.router.add_get("/", test)
web.run_app(app)

Logging From Django

First edit settings.py to register middleware, like this:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "django.middleware...",
    "usagelogger.django.HttpLoggerForDjango",
]

Then add a new section to settings.py for logging configuration, like this:

USAGELOGGER = {
    'url': 'http://localhost:4001/message',
    'rules': 'include debug'
}

Logging From Flask

from flask import Flask
from usagelogger.flask import HttpLoggerForFlask

app = Flask(__name__)

app.wsgi_app = HttpLoggerForFlask(  # type: ignore
    app=app.wsgi_app, url="http://localhost:4001/message", rules="include debug"
)

@app.route("/")
def home():
    return "This route works!"

app.run(debug=True)

Logging From Requests

from usagelogger import resurface

s = resurface.Session(url="http://localhost:4001/message", rules="include debug")
s.get(...)

Logging With API

Loggers can be directly integrated into your application using our API. This requires the most effort compared with the options described above, but also offers the greatest flexibility and control.

API documentation

Protecting User Privacy

Loggers always have an active set of rules that control what data is logged and how sensitive data is masked. All of the examples above apply a predefined set of rules (include debug), but logging rules are easily customized to meet the needs of any application.
