How to set up HTTPHandler for python logging

问题

I'm trying to use HTTPHandler class of standard python logging library to send logs. I need to make a https post request with basic credentials(username and password). This is how i'm setting up the HTTPHandler-

    host = 'example.com'
    url = '/path'
    handler = logging.handlers.HTTPHandler(host, url, method='POST', secure=True, credentials=('username','password'), context=None)
    logger.addHandler(handler)

But the problem is, I'm not getting anylogs in my remote server.I'm not even seeing any exception from the handler. Am I setting up the handler arguments incorrectly? I can send similar logs using simple pythong http request-

url = 'https://username:password@example.com/path'
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
jsonLog = { 'id': '4444','level': 'info', 'message': 'python log' };

r = requests.post(url, data = json.dumps(jsonLog), headers=headers)

Do i need to setup header somehow because of json content-type? If yes than how do i set that up in the httphandler?

Update

I thought I should update what I ended up doing. After numerous search i found i can create a custom handler by overriding emit() of logging.Handler.

class CustomHandler(logging.Handler):
def emit(self, record):
    log_entry = self.format(record)
    # some code....
    url = 'url'
    # some code....
    return requests.post(url, log_entry, headers={"Content-type": "application/json"}).content

Feel free to post if any has any better suggestions.

回答1:

You will need to subclass HTTPHandler and override the emit() method to do what you need. You can use the current implementation of HTTPHandler.emit() as a guide.
