Monolg's documentation

Simple Centralized logging for Python using MongoDB

PRs Welcome ReadTheDocs PyPi Build Status

What is monolg?

You know those times when you've deployed your applications on the cloud, which logs every step of way precisely onto your *.log files, and now everytime you know the application misbehaves you cannot be bothered to look into those log files.

This never happened to you?!

Let's not lie of course it has, and you know settings up Elastic stack will fix alot of your problems, but thats just ALOT OF WORK!!

That is where we want this project to come in, The monolg package should give you an easy to use API for logging all of your steps in your local MongoDB instance or even better your MongoDB Cloud (For which you know you have plenty out of those 512 MBs laying around)

Where can you use it?

You use monolg for pretty much any projects where you know keeping logs and sharing them is a necessary part. Granted it comes with an extra step of having a MongoDB instance up and running, but it does makes your life alot easier when it comes to identifying runtime issues, performance evaluations and debugging.

What it is not & future of this project

monolg is not your state of the art logging solution for enterprise level application. Neither does it have ports for languages (yet). This is a simple straight forward one stop shop for logging solution. We have a lot of plans for this project noting down some of the future extensions for this project.

  • Dashboard for visualization of the logs
  • Docker image for with MongoDB and the visualization utility
  • More ways to log internal processes (decorators, context managers)
