This is a plugin library to enable logging to Logentries from the Python Logger. Logentries is a real-time log management service on the cloud. More info at https://logentries.com.

To use this library, you must first create an account on Logentries. This will only take a few moments.

To install this library, use the following command:

easy_install https://github.com/downloads/logentries/le_python/LogentriesLogger-0.2.tar.gz

#!/usr/bin/env python

from logentries import LeHandler
import logging

log = logging.getLogger('logentries')

test = LeHandler(LOGENTRIES_TOKEN)

log.addHandler(test)

log.warn("Warning message")

The parameter LOGENTRIES_TOKEN needs to be filled in to point to a file in your Logentries account.

In your Logentries account, create a new host, giving it a name that represents your app. Then create a logfile, selecting Token TCP as the source_type. This will print a Token UUID beside the logfile. This is the value to use for LOGENTRIES_TOKEN.

You are now ready to start logging
