Collect logs directly from any Python code, including Django.

Logtail is a hosted service that centralizes all of your logs into one place. Allowing for analysis, correlation and filtering with SQL. Actionable Grafana dashboards and collaboration come built-in. Logtail works with any language or platform and any data source.

• Simple integration. Integrates with the Python logging library.
• Support for structured logging and events.
• Automatically captures useful context.
• Performant, light weight, with a thoughtful design.

• Python 3.6.5 or newer
• pip 20.0.2 or newer

Install the Logtail Python client library using the pip command:

pip install logtail-python

Make sure you install the logtail-python package and not a different package with the logtail keyword in the package name from a different author.

To help you get started with using Logtail in your Python projects, we have prepared a simple Python program that showcases the usage of Logtail logger.

You can download the example project from GitHub directly or you can clone it to a select directory. Then install the logtail-python client library as shown before:

pip install logtail-python

To run the example application, simply run the following command:

python main.py <source-token>

Don't forget to replace <source-token> with your actual source token which you can find by going to logtail.com -> sources -> edit.

If you have trouble running the command above, check your Python installation and try running it with the python3 command instead. It should give you the following output:

Output:
All done! You can check your logs now.

This example project will create a total of 6 logs. Each corresponding to its respective method.

Learn how to setup Python logging by exploring the workings of the example project in detail.
