Allow formatter customizations

[EvaSDK]

I am currently pursuing the goal of using fluent just like any other logging Handler/Formatter via logging.config

In order to do that I had to solve a couple of problems that make default FluentRecordFormatter not easy to deal with. It is now able to take a format argument which is a dictionary that holds keys and values. Values are regular LogRecord standard Python %-style mapping keys. The defaults are unchanged.

I also added a couple of fixes I found in other pull requests as I found them as well during my tests, so this should cover Issue #7, PR #8 and PR #16.

Finally I added a sphinx ready docstring to FluentRecordFormatter._structuring although this function could probably be merged in format directly since I don't see it used anywhere else.

Once merged, the following sample program:

import logging
from fluent.handler import FluentHandler, FluentRecordFormatter
logger = logging.getLogger('toto')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = FluentHandler('hello.test')
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = FluentRecordFormatter(fmt={
'msg': '%(message)s',
'level': '%(levelname)s',
'hostname': '%(hostname)s',
})
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.info('hel""lo')

logs

2014-08-01 13:59:05 +0200 hello.test: {"msg":"hel\"\"lo","message":"hel\"\"lo","hostname":"seta.local","level":"INFO"}

to fluentd.

A sample configuration would be:

logging:
version: 1formatters:
brief:
format: '%(message)s'default:
format: '%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s %(name)-15s %(message)s'datefmt: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'fluent_fmt:
'()': fluent.handler.FluentRecordFormatterformat:
message: '%(message)s'level: '%(levelname)s'hostname: '%(hostname)s'where: '%(module)s.%(funcName)s'handlers:
console:
class : logging.StreamHandlerlevel: DEBUGformatter: defaultstream: ext://sys.stdoutfluent:

class: logging.NullHandlerloggers:
amqp:

loaded likeso:

importlogging.configimportyamlwithopen('logging.yaml') asfd:
conf=yaml.load(fd)
logging.config.dictConfig(conf['logging'])

the way to customize formatter via logging.config.dictConfig drove me a bit crazy until I found the proper documentation. So I figured it would be useful to add it as an example here.

Branch updated against 0.3.5.

@EvaSDK

The idea looks good to me. Do you think you can add a test for the string input case? After that it's ready to be merged.

[EvaSDK]

I can look into it yes.

[EvaSDK]

Added some tests and fixed a few issues while doing so.

The most annoying thing to me is the drop of python 2.6 support due to class changes in python logging module and how it handles the asctime attribute. I think dropping 2.6 support is not too bad anyway due to it being unsupported on most distributions nowadays. If you still want to support it, I can elaborate an alternative solution.

[EvaSDK]

Added py26 compatibility back. It does not look pretty but if you want it for older distributions, you have it.
I included README update from PR #22.

This fixes: issue #7, PR #8, PR #22 / issue #23

With PR #31, this adds up to 3 pull requests to fix conformance to logging classes. Please tell me what to do with this PR, it has been almost a year and I did everything I could to satisfy your modification requests.

@yyuu Could you check this PR?
I confirmed this change resolves #34 issue.
We should fix issue 34 to avoid logging trouble.

[yyuu]

Looks good to me.

[repeatedly]

@yyuu Feel free to merge this PR and release new version. Maybe update minor version is better?
After that, we will close the issue on fluentd repository.

[EvaSDK]

The PR contains a version bump to 0.4.0 as I felt this was an important enough change.

[repeatedly]

How about this PR? > #31

[yyuu]

@repeatedly I don't have permission to upload fluent-logger to PyPI....

[EvaSDK]

#31 squashed all my commits in one and adds a feature that is debatable on its own. Imho, it should be reworked as a single commit on top of my branch first.

[yyuu]

@EvaSDK Why did you remove 2.6 from .travis.yml? It's still in tox.ini and seems working fine at least for me.

[EvaSDK]

Looks like I forgot to update .travis.yml when I re-added support for it. I'll fix that.

[yyuu]

Ah, got it. I'll fix it by myself.

[EvaSDK]

w00t, thanks.
