Introduction to Alox Logger

Alox Logger is a powerful logging library for Python designed to make logging simple, efficient, and customizable. In this guide, we will explore various APIs provided by Alox Logger and demonstrate how to use them effectively in your applications. Whether you are debugging, tracking, or monitoring, Alox Logger has you covered.

Getting Started

To install Alox Logger, use the following pip command:

pip install alox-logger

API Examples

Basic Logging

Here’s a simple example of how to log messages using Alox Logger:

import alox_logger as alox

logger = alox.get_logger('basic_logger')

logger.info('This is an info message')
logger.debug('This is a debug message')
logger.error('This is an error message')

Setting Log Levels

Alox Logger allows you to set different log levels to control the verbosity of your logs:

logger.setLevel(alox.DEBUG)
logger.debug('This will be logged')

logger.setLevel(alox.ERROR)
logger.debug('This will NOT be logged')

Custom Log Formatting

You can customize the format of your log messages:

formatter = alox.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
handler = alox.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)

logger.info('This log message has a custom format')

Logging to a File

Logging to a file is straightforward with Alox Logger:

file_handler = alox.FileHandler('app.log')
file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(file_handler)

logger.info('This message will be logged to the file')

Adding Contextual Information

Add extra contextual information to your logs:

logger = alox.get_logger('contextual_logger', extra={'user': 'john_doe'})
logger.info('This log message includes user information')

Exception Logging

Log exceptions with traceback information:

try:
    1 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    logger.exception('An exception occurred')

Application Example

Let’s create a sample application that uses various Alox Logger APIs:

import alox_logger as alox

def main():
    logger = alox.get_logger('app_logger')
    formatter = alox.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
    
    # Console Handler
    console_handler = alox.StreamHandler()
    console_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(console_handler)

    # File Handler
    file_handler = alox.FileHandler('application.log')
    file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(file_handler)

    # Set log level
    logger.setLevel(alox.DEBUG)

    logger.info('Application started')
    try:
        result = 1 / 0
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        logger.exception('Division by zero error')

    logger.info('Application finished')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This example demonstrates how to set up a logger, add handlers, and log messages with different severity levels. Additionally, it shows how to handle and log exceptions.

By utilizing Alox Logger, you can enhance the robustness of your applications by keeping track of important events and errors. Start integrating Alox Logger today and make logging a breeze!
