python-kinesis-logger

KinesisHandler is a BufferingHandler that sends logging output to a AWS Kinesis stream.

It offloads work to a worker thread decoupled by a queue, inspired by QueueHandler.

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# create kinesis handler
q = queue.Queue()
handler = kinesishandler.KinesisHandler(10, q)
worker = kinesishandler.Worker(q, "exampleStreamName", region="eu-west-1")
worker.start()

# create formatter and add to handler
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)

# add handler to logger
logger.addHandler(handler)
