# Datadog Custom Logger
[](https://pypi.org/project/datadog-custom-logger/)
[](https://open.vscode.dev/meet86/datadog-custom-logger)
## Usage
>⚠️ Make sure to setup these 2 environment variables before using this package. You can either set them up by configuring the system environment variables or using python's os.environ[] method
## Example
```python
import os
os.environ["DD_API_KEY"] = "" #Your Datadog API Key
os.environ["DD_SITE"] = "datadoghq.com"
```
### Steps
- Install pip package
```shell
pip install datadog-custom-logger==1.1.1
```
- Import package
```python
from datadog_custom_logger import DatadogCustomLogHandler
```
- Initialize the handler
```python
datadog_custom_handler = DatadogCustomLogHandler(level=logging.INFO)
```
> 💡Note: if the level is set to logging.WARNING, you won't be able to see info or debug level logs.
## Hierarchy:
- debug (logging.DEBUG)
- info (logging.INFO)
- warning (logging.WARNING)
- error (logging.ERROR)
- Attach the handler
```python
logging.basicConfig()
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(datadog_custom_handler)
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)
```
- Now simply log the logs
```python
# This statement won't be logged because the .setLevel() is set to logging.INFO.
# Please check the logging hierarchy for more.
logging.debug("This is debug level code")
# This will be logged as per .setLevel()
logging.info("This is info level logs")
```
