Description

-----------

*Simplifies logging for systemd*

**Requires Python 3.6+**

* No need to compile (pure Python), uses ``libsystemd.so``.

* Simplified configuration.

* Just logging. Nothing more.

Usage

-----

.. code-block:: python

    import logging

    from systemdlogging.toolbox import init_systemd_logging

    # This one line in most cases would be enough.

    # By default it attaches systemd logging handler to a root Python logger.

    init_systemd_logging()  # Returns True if initialization went fine.

    # Now you can use logging as usual.

    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    logger.debug('My debug message')

    try:

        raise ValueError('Log me please')

    except ValueError:

        # Additional context can be passed in extra.context.

        logger.exception('Something terrible just happened', extra={

            'message_id': True,  # Generate message ID automatically.

            'context': {

                'FIELD1': 'one',

                'FIELD2': 'two',

            }

        }, stack_info=True)
