# Simple Message Based Central Logging System in python

For starters, used mysql for db. But can be replaced with ElasticSearch as to enhance performance on scaling.

## Setup

 - Clone the repo

 - install dependecies 

 ```

 pip install -r requirements.txt

 ```

 - Setup Flask env

 ```

 export FLASK_APP=server.py

 ```

 - Create config file

 ```

 cp config_example.py config.py

 ```

## Configuration

1. Add all necessary config data in config.py 

2. Create a database with the provided name and table accordingly with the column (client, log_level, message, created_at).

## Execution

1. Run the

```

python zmqclient.py

```

on the client systems, i.e. various different machines where the logs are scattered

2. Run the 

```

python zmqserver.py

```

on our central server where we want to centralise the logging system

3. (Optional) To debug run : 

   ```

   export FLASK_DEBUG=1

    ```

4. Run the Flask web server

```

flask run

```

5. Open **localhost:5000** on local system and view it as a table

6. To view statistics, go to **localhost:5000/stats**

## Server Stats

To view server server stats, just visit **localhost:5000/stats** and the data can be refreshed by clicking on the refresh button.
